Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Brilliant Shine settled midfield along the rails, stayed to the inside when straightening, hit the front 100m out and just held off the late surge of Jazzy Feeling to salute the judge for a fourth time this campaign. Jazzy Feeling travelled second from the rear, straightened three deep and barged his way between runners 100m out to get up strongly for second. Fat Choy Hong Kong settled behind the leader after setting a sluggish pace early early on, straightened three deep and kept on gamely to edge Star Majestic for a placing. Star Majestic was posted deep without cover ahead of midfield from a wide gate, rushed to the lead 1,000m out, cornered two lengths on top and was on his tippy toes late. Formula Won was ridden cold and made a good bid down the far outside to just finish out of the placings. He's near a bottom. Goodheart Success was ridden positively from a wide gate to settle one off in third, straightened three deep and and was yielding ground 150m out. Pablosky ended up three back along the rails, straightened five deep and only kept on one-paced over the final 150m. Amazingly never ran on from near the back. Sichuan Exec was disappointing following a handy run with cover one off the rails.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight: (670)-WONG NAI CHUNG GAP HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1650Metres

PRECISION KING was withdrawn on 2.6.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (inappetence) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter BRILLIANT SHINE (N Callan).

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

PREMIUM CHAMPION, which was slow to begin, was hampered soon after the start by STAR MAJESTIC which shifted in after making contact with GOODHEART SUCCESS.

After this, PREMIUM CHAMPION was shifted across behind runners.

Soon after the start, JAZZY FEELING was awkwardly placed outside the heels of AMAZINGLY.

Also soon after the start, FORMULA WON was shifted across behind runners.

After being obliged to race wide and without cover in the early stages, STAR MAJESTIC was allowed to stride forward after the 1200 Metres to eventually assume the lead near the 1000 Metres.

At the 1200 Metres, AMAZINGLY got its head up when awkwardly placed behind MULTIVICTORY.

Approaching the 1000 Metres, BRILLIANT SHINE was steadied away from the heels of PABLOSKY.

REGENCY KING was left racing wide and without cover after the 1000 Metres.

After being held up in the early stages of the Straight, JAZZY FEELING improved into tight running between STAR MAJESTIC and FAT CHOY HONG KONG after passing the 150 Metres.

Then, at the 100 Metres, STAR MAJESTIC (K C Leung) shifted out under pressure, resulting in JAZZY FEELING being crowded for room onto FAT CHOY HONG KONG which in turn shifted out, obliging GOODHEART SUCCESS to shift out away from the heels of that horse.

PABLOSKY, which was racing to the outside of GOODHEART SUCCESS, was carried out, resulting in REGENCY KING having to be checked away from the heels of PABLOSKY.

K C Leung was advised that in similar circumstances he would be expected to stop riding and straighten his mount sooner than he did on this occasion.

PABLOSKY was held up for clear running until after passing the 200 Metres.

G Mosse, the rider of PREMIUM CHAMPION, was reprimanded for permitting his mount to shift in under pressure near the 100 Metres when insufficiently clear of AMAZINGLY, resulting in that horse having to be steadied.

Near the 50 Metres, N Rawiller (PABLOSKY) momentarily lost the use of his whip before regaining it.

When questioned, M Chadwick stated that he was instructed to lead on MULTIVICTORY if possible, however, after beginning only fairly, MULTIVICTORY failed to display the anticipated speed and was quickly crossed by SICHUAN EXEC and FAT CHOY HONG KONG despite being ridden along in the early stages.

He said as a consequence MULTIVICTORY settled further back in the field than had been intended.

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

After the race, T H So reported that SICHUAN EXEC tended to over-race in the early and middle stages and consequently proved disappointingly in its failure to respond to his riding in the Straight.

He added after the race SICHUAN EXEC appeared normal in its action and he was unable to account for the horse's disappointing performance.

A veterinary inspection of SICHUAN EXEC immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

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

BRILLIANT SHINE and JAZZY FEELING were sent for sampling.
