Recap by phillip woo

Odds-on choice Sun Jewellery was held up for a run in the box-seat until pulling out for a clear run at the 320m and quickened nicely to win going away 200m out to remain unbeaten in two starts. He's got a bright future. Let Me Go recovered quickly to settle midfield along the fence after jumping tardily, got the run one off the fence at the 200m and finished well to just edge Precision King by a whisker for second. Precision King enjoyed an uncontested lead, cornered a length on top and grudgingly gave way. Dr Good Habit made his run outside Let Me Go, rounded the final bend five deep and ran on steadily to just miss a placing. Victory Magic settled one off the rails behind midfield, rallied six deep upon straightening and ran on steadily to just out-bob Anticipation for a pay slip. Anticipation made his run worse than midfield along the rails, straightened five deep and went to the line reasonably well. Universal Union had settled three deep behind midfield without cover, dropped further back coming to the final bend and never ran on with two wider out.

Racing Incident Report

Race Ten: (735)-POK FU LAM RESERVOIR ROAD HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1400Metres

LET ME GO began awkwardly.

Shortly after the start, LOTUS BREEZE was crowded for room between VICTORY MAGIC and PREMIUM CHAMPION, both of which shifted ground.

From a wide barrier, FORMULA WON was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Passing the 1100 Metres, VICTORY MAGIC was hampered when crowded for room inside UNIVERSAL UNION which shifted in when awkwardly placed close to the heels of DR GOOD HABIT which was being steadied to obtain cover.

After this, UNIVERSAL UNION was left racing wide and without cover.

Making the first turn after the 900 Metres, UNIVERSAL UNION raced tight between MR GENUINE and VICTORY MAGIC which got its head on the side and lay out.

Passing the 400 Metres, LET ME GO was momentarily crowded for room between SUN JEWELLERY which shifted out away from the heels of PRECISION KING and GOAL FOR GOLD which was taken in slightly by DR GOOD HABIT.

Also passing the 400 Metres, VICTORY MAGIC shifted in and bumped ANTICIPATION and then approaching the 200 Metres VICTORY MAGIC and ANTICIPATION raced tight.

At the 50 Metres, PRECISION KING became unbalanced after shifting in and brushing the running rail.

For the majority of the race, MR GENUINE travelled wide and without cover.

After the race, D Whyte (UNIVERSAL UNION) stated that after being somewhat difficult to load, his mount did not travel well at any stage of the race and was most disappointing in its failure to finish off the race.

He said in the Straight, despite being ridden out, UNIVERSAL UNION did not feel comfortable in its action.

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

The performance of UNIVERSAL UNION was considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, UNIVERSAL UNION will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

SUN JEWELLERY and LET ME GO were sent for sampling.
