Hong Kong racing continues at Happy Valley this Wednesday evening, with a competitive eight-part program set for decision. The rail moves out to the B course, and although thunderstorms are predicted to hit the track on Tuesday, it should have plenty of time to dry out courtesy of warm conditions forecast on race-day. Check out HorseBetting.com.au’s best bets for the Happy Valley races on September 17, 2025.
Best Bet at Happy Valley: Honest Witness
Honest Witness looked to be improving towards the backend of last season when posting back-to-back minor placings. The son of Written By appears to be resuming in superb order after saluting in a barrier trial on the Sha Tin all-weather circuit on September 3. He maps to stalk the speed from gate six, and provided Zac Purton has no issues slotting in for cover, Honest Witness can finally shirk the maiden tag at start six.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#4 Honest Witness (6)
4yo Gelding | T: David Hayes | J: Zac Purton (57.5kg)
Next Best at Happy Valley: Lo Rider
The Caspar Fownes-trained Lo Rider was rock solid in his debut Hong Kong campaign despite failing to post a win in his seven starts. The Irish import managed a fourth-place finish in the Hong Kong Derby (2000m) two runs back, then was luckless when held up behind a fall of horses chasing home Light Years Charm at Sha Tin on July 1. He draws to do no work from barrier one as he tackles Happy Valley for the first time, and with 1650m seemingly a perfect trip, Lo Rider gets a terrific opportunity to claim his Hong Kong maiden in the finale.
Next Best
Race 8 – #10 Lo Rider (1)
5yo Gelding | T: Caspar Fownes | J: Harry Bentley (55kg)
Best Value at Happy Valley: Supreme Agility
Supreme Agility caught the eye chasing home S J Tourbillon at this course and distance on July 16 and looks to be doing his best work in Class 4. The six-year-old has now placed twice in three starts since dropping back in grade, and he didn’t seem to be hampered when lugging the 61kg last time out. With a genuine tempo expected in this 1800m contest, it should set up perfectly for Supreme Agility to be flashing home down the centre of track at a good each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 3 – #2 Supreme Agility (9)
6yo Gelding | T: Pierre Ng | J: James Orman (59kg)
