Recap by phillip woo

Highland Dragon was posted three deep without cover fore of midfield, swung the final bend with three wider out and let down well to take control 60m out carrying bottom weight in a depthless race. Plunged late, Do You Get It made his run three deep and fourth from the rear, pulled off heels for a clear run four deep at the 150m and finished well to grab second in the shadows of the post. Well-punted late, Jolly Posh was posted second outside the leader and favourite Timely Arrived, advanced to the front 150m out and had to settle in the end for a minor placing. Timely Arrived rushed forward to lead the first 850m after a sluggish break, cornered a half-length on top and was yielding ground 100m out to just hold Golden Bauhinia for a Quartet spot in a disappointing first run at the Valley. Golden Bauhinia ran on steadily with two wider out after travelling one off in midfield. Real Fit had no excuses following a box-seat run. Ambitious Glory was only plodding away four deep over the final 250m after a one-off run in fourth. Newcomer Never Better made some ground near the inside after travelling beyond midfield from a wide gate.

Racing Incident Report

Race Two: (451)-LUARD HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1000Metres

TIMELY ARRIVED, REAL FIT and AMBITIOUS GLORY were all crowded for room on jumping between CHOICE EXCHEQUER and SENSIBLE CHOICE which shifted in.

SENSIBLE CHOICE lost its right hind plate shortly after the start.

When being steadied shortly after the start from a wide barrier to obtain a position with cover, NEVER BETTER was steadied away from the heels of JOY TOGETHER.

After initially being ridden along from the outside barriers, PALEPALE and DO YOU GET IT were shifted across behind runners passing the 900 Metres when left racing wide.

Approaching the 900 Metres, REAL FIT shifted out, resulting in AMBITIOUS GLORY and SENSIBLE CHOICE being hampered.

AMBITIOUS GLORY then raced tight between REAL FIT and SENSIBLE CHOICE for a short distance after this, resulting in AMBITIOUS GLORY becoming unbalanced when buffeted for room.

Then near the 800 Metres, HIGHLAND DRAGON was bumped by SENSIBLE CHOICE which was taken out by AMBITIOUS GLORY which in turn was taken out by REAL FIT.

GOLDEN BAUHINIA, which was racing to the outside of HIGHLAND DRAGON, was also inconvenienced.

JOY TOGETHER, which was being shifted across behind GOLDEN BAUHINIA, was checked away from the heels of that horse in consequence.

Making the turn after the 600 Metres, PALEPALE raced tight between JOY TOGETHER and NEVER BETTER which made the turn awkwardly and shifted out.

Near the 150 Metres, DO YOU GET IT was shifted out away from the heels of REAL FIT to obtain clear running.

Throughout the race, HIGHLAND DRAGON travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of AMBITIOUS GLORY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

TIMELY ARRIVED, HIGHLAND DRAGON and DO YOU GET IT were sent for sampling.
