Wild and Ready and jockey Ron Stewart have been an unbeatable team in minor races in Australia in the last few months.

Wild and Ready won a maiden race in her fourth start at Ipswich Racecourse on Christmas Eve, the first time Stewart was aboard. Wild And Ready finished sixth in a handicap at Doomben on Jan. 7 when ridden by Jim Byrne, but rebounded to win a handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs at Eagle Farm on Jan. 21 with Stewart back aboard.

Three Class 3 handicaps for horses rated 80-60 headline a nine-race card at Happy Valley in Hong Kong on Wednesday.

Race 4, which drew only eight entrants, is carded at 1,650 meters, while the other two races are sprints, the eighth at 1,000 meters and the last of nine races at 1,200 meters. First post for the program is 5:45 a.m. Eastern and you can catch all the action at DRFBets.com.

Awesome Lad had a perfect campaign in Australia in December, winning two sprint handicaps at Warwick Farm Racecourse in Sydney.

The winning streak ended with a second-place finish by 1 1/4 lengths against a better class of runners at Warwick Farm on Jan. 26, a loss that cannot be too harshly criticized. Sent off at 5-1, Awesome Lad closed from sixth in a field of 12.

HAPPY VALLEY SELECTIONS
(Wednesday, February 10, 2021)

Circuit Three showed last racing season he could put together a Hong Kong winning streak, and two in a row is a good possibility when Circuit Three starts in the featured fourth race Saturday at Sha Tin.

Vincent Ho is confident a BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) tilt remains within Sea Of Life’s grasp as the emerging talent prepares to face a formidable double challenge in the Class 2 Yuen Long Handicap (1600m) at Sha Tin on Saturday (6 February).

Stepping to 1600m for the first time in Hong Kong, the Australian import also rises to Class 2 after successive Class 3 wins over 1200m and 1400m – both at Sha Tin.

Light weight assignments will be a boost for Barade and Double Your Tee in Sunday’s $191,650 Hobart Cup at Hobart Racecourse in Australia.

Barade, who may be a slight favorite in a very competitive field, will carry 119 pounds in the field of 15, slightly less than Double Your Tee at 120 pounds. The highweights, at 130 pounds, are Eastender and Mandela Effect. Of those, Mandela Effect is rated to have a better chance.

Toorak Affair, a 7-year-old mare who won the 2020 Hobart Cup, will carry 125.6 pounds and will be very well-supported.
