Recap by phillip woo

Bullish Boy settled one-out, one-back, straightened three deep and wore down leader Grand Harbour in the final few strides for a fourth career win over this trip. Grand Harbour turned the final bend two on top after setting a genuine pace and was overhauled late. Graceful Kingdom settled three back along the paint, rallied four deep and just outfinished Monsieur Mogok and Jaegar Bomb for a placing. Monsieur Mogok saved ground behind midfield, pushed into the clear with three wider at the top of the straight and finished well to make it close for a placing. Jaeger Bomb made his run outside Graceful Kingdom and ran on steadily to finish on the bottom of a blanket finish for a minor placing. Sempiternal had to work forward from a tricky gate to eventually settle one off in second and was sitting down 100m out. Debutant Lotus Strikes Back made some ground near the inside after making his run second from the rear. Plunged late, Redwood Baby only got by beaten rivals after taking the final bend very wide from the tail of the field. Club Life came up empty in the straight despite a box-seat trip in his first run at the Valley. Hit A Home Run never let down after travelling fourth from the rear along the paint.

Racing Incident Report

Race Seven: (669)-VIOLET HILL HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1650Metres

AGIAAL was withdrawn on 2.6.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter CLUB LIFE (A Suborics).

Before being allowed to race again, AGIAAL will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

From wide barriers, NOBLE DELUXE, LOTUS STRIKES BACK and REDWOOD BABY were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

After passing the winning post on the first occasion, CLUB LIFE lay out and was awkwardly placed at the hindquarters of BULLISH BOY.

CLUB LIFE continued to lay out until after the 1000 Metres.

At the same stage, MONSIEUR MOGOK raced tight inside NOBLE DELUXE which shifted in.

At the 750 Metres, NOBLE DELUXE got its head up and shifted out away from the heels of JAEGER BOMB.

After passing the 400 Metres, NOBLE DELUXE was bumped and taken wider by MONSIEUR MOGOK which shifted to the outside of JAEGER BOMB.

LEVEL PLAYER and REDWOOD BABY, which were racing to the outside of NOBLE DELUXE, were hampered and taken wider as a consequence.

Passing the 200 Metres, REDWOOD BABY was inconvenienced by LEVEL PLAYER which shifted out marginally.

When questioned, H W Lai stated that after beginning awkwardly and stumbling, HIT A HOME RUN then failed to travel well at any stage of the race and did not stretch out comfortably.

A veterinary inspection of HIT A HOME RUN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.

After the race, D Whyte reported that NOBLE DELUXE made an abnormal respiratory noise approaching the Home Turn and gave ground in the Straight.

A veterinary inspection of NOBLE DELUXE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A veterinary inspection of CLUB LIFE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

JAEGER BOMB, BULLISH BOY and GRAND HARBOUR were sent for sampling.
