DAVID Hill's great run of form can continue with L'Enjoleur (Nap) in tonight's opening event on the Happy Valley grass.
There are few more atmospheric venues than a night meeting under lights at the city track and there's no better way to start a meeting than with a winner.
L'Enjoleur appears to fit the bill very nicely and is worth a win bet and two quinella wagers with the improving Jet Speed and Speed Age.
L'Enjoleur raced like a stayer last season but could never really get his act together. He then moved to Hill and this time round has finally started to fulfil the potential he had previously reserved for his trackwork only.
He was a wide-margin winner in a Class Six contest at Sha Tin and then came to the Valley to run a fine second to Gary Ng Ting-keung's progressive stayer Monopoly who has franked the form by running well since.
But it was L'Enjoleur's most recent effort that was his best. And there is no more important single factor in determining decent bets than useful recent form.
