Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Designs On Rome was patiently ridden second from the rear from a wide gate, swung the final bend with one wider out and let down well to get up close to home in a blanket finish for the win carrying top weight. Packing Llaregyb settled worse than midfield along the rails, quickened well five deep to poke his head in front close to home only to find one too good on the wire. Dominant settled closer than normal one off the rails in fourth, cornered four deep, advanced to the front 200m out and lost out in a ding-dong finish. Helene Super Star enjoyed the box-seat run behind Khaya, came one off at the 300m, briefly hit the front 50m out and was swamped for a placing. Khaya rolled forward to lead 1,250m out after missing the kick, straightened a length on top and was giving ground 100m out. He had been vetted prior to the start. Willie Cazals got going from last down the far outside without menacing. Specked late, Mr Gnocchi sat on Helene Super Star's back, pulled out four deep at the 400m and kept on evenly over the final 200m.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight: (380)-THE CENTENARY VASE (HANDICAP) - Hong Kong Group Three - 1800Metres

RAINBOW CHIC was withdrawn on 6.2.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (sore right fore fetlock).

MILITARY ATTACK was also withdrawn on 6.2.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (inappetence).

Before being allowed to race again, RAINBOW CHIC and MILITARY ATTACK will both be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

After being loaded, KHAYA became fractious and repeatedly kicked out the back gates.

KHAYA was removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Surgeon who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

Having regard to KHAYA's prior record in respect of its barrier manners, the Stewards ruled that the horse must barrier trial satisfactorily prior to its next race start.

KHAYA was slow to begin.

BUBBLE CHIC began very awkwardly and shortly after the start stumbled.

After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that BUBBLE CHIC had sustained an overreach injury to the outside of the left front heel bulb.

Passing the 1300 Metres, BUBBLE CHIC was momentarily crowded for room inside KHAYA (K Teetan) which shifted in.

K Teetan was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

PACKING LLAREGYB had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight.

Passing the 100 Metres, ENDOWING was steadied when crowded for room between DESIGNS ON ROME which shifted in marginally and PACKING LLAREGYB (M Demuro) which shifted out.

M Demuro was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care in future.

Over the concluding stages, KHAYA got its head on the side and lay out towards the heels of HELENE SUPER STAR.

DESIGNS ON ROME and PACKING LLAREGYB were sent for sampling.
