David Eustace and Hugh Bowman will combine with two strong prospects on Wednesday evening at Happy Valley, including the consistent Silvery Breeze in the Class Three Sichuan Bipenggou Tourist Attractions Handicap (1,650m).

While the son of Dundeel didn’t have the race run to suit last start in Class Two company, he has not been out of the top two placings in his four previous efforts this season, which included a win in the third leg of the Longines International Jockeys’ Championship – a Class Three over 1,650m.

A class drop will see the five-year-old carry 135lb, a significant increase on 115lb he carried last start, however it is not unfamiliar to him.

“He’s obviously been very competitive. Even with the big weight, he ran very well two starts back and he’s back to that grade and Hugh knows him well. So I’m looking forward to getting him back to the races,” said Eustace.

Despite the fact Silvery Breeze can be reliant on a fast pace, Bowman’s style of riding should suit.

“He’s the sort of horse that needs speed on and he likes to be switched off early and come with a late run, which often doesn’t work at Happy Valley. But that’s how he likes it, so you can’t change too much,” Eustace said.

Ragga Bomb will also look to score over the 1,650m trip when he lines up in the Class Four Kwoon Chung Inclusive & Accessible Service Handicap. Although it has taken the five-year-old twelve starts to salute for the first time in Hong Kong, he has improved significantly with experience and the step up in trip from 1,400m.

His maiden local victory came last start in the Class Four Jaffe Handicap (1,650m) where he carried 126lb, and the three-length success will see him carry 135lb when he steps out in the same grade on Wednesday.

“His run two runs before the win were excellent – he was wide and worked hard and stayed on really well. He did get the perfect run the other day, it all worked out really nicely for him which I think probably exaggerated the win and the handicapper didn’t miss him as a result,” Eustace said.

“I think he can win again if things set up nicely for him. He showed in Class Three at the end of last season that he was in and around that grade and there’s no doubt he’s still learning how to race here in Hong Kong. I’d like to think by the end of the season or it might even be next season he can improve again.”

The in-form Sports Legend will maintain the services of Angus Chung Yik-lai for Eustace in the feature Class Three Kwoon Chung Bus Cup (1,200m) after the partnership recorded a narrow second, beaten only three-quarters of a length by Sovereign Fund, last start.

“He was very good the other day. If you reverse the runs with the winner, you probably reverse the result,” Eustace said.

“He was very solid and he’s held his form. He’s a bit more versatile – he’s probably added a string to his bow this season. We’ve tried to get him to switch off and he’s switching off nicely.”

Eustace will also have Fortune Whiskey step out in the first section of the Class Four Kwoon Chung Macau Limousine Rental Services Handicap (1,200m), with the two-time course and distance winner chasing his first victory of the season.

The in-form Jerry Chau Chun-lok will take the reins from barrier three on the Eustace-trained Hailtothevictors in an open edition of the Class Five Kwoon Chung Motors Handicap (1,800m), after a huge effort last start saw the son of Almanzor cover ground and stay on well for fourth.

Power Summit, who drops to Class Five company for the first time in the Intercontinental Limousine Handicap (1,200m), rounds out Eustace’s midweek team.
