Recap by phillip woo

In a thrilling finish, favourite Archippus just held off the late surges of Hit The Bid and Noble Alpha after finding the front from midfield 80m out to start his season on a winning note. Hit The Bid was ridden quietly third from the rear from a wide gate, swung the final bend furthest out and finished willingly to make it a bob of heads on the wire. He'll be winning soon. Noble Alpha travelled behind midfield and one off the rails, worked into the clear with three wider out at the 250m and closed furiously to make it tight on the wire. Ultimate Glory travelled deep beyond midfield with cover, turned the final bend with two wider out and ran on nicely to just miss a placing. Trillion Treasure was posted deep without cover in a prominent spot, worked to the lead 150m out and had no more to offer 100m out. It wasn't a bad run in defeat despite a rise in grade. Rumba King ran on steadily without menacing near the inside.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (119)-TSUEN LOK HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

Whilst in the saddling stalls, BORNTOACHIEVE had its left front plate refitted.

The start of this race was delayed due to the time taken for BORNTOACHIEVE to be replated and presented into the Parade Ring.

BORNTOACHIEVE was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

HIT THE BID began awkwardly and lost ground.

WINGOLD slipped behind on jumping and consequently lost ground.

BORNTOACHIEVE began awkwardly.

HIT A HOME RUN and SIGHT SEEING were crowded for room on jumping between SEA RUBY and TRILLION TREASURE which shifted out.

SEA RUBY travelled keenly in the early and middle stages.

Approaching and passing the 800 Metres, ARCHIPPUS got its head up on a number of occasions when awkwardly placed close to the heels of TRILLION TREASURE.

Passing the 300 Metres, NOBLE ALPHA and ULTIMATE GLORY raced tight due to NOBLE ALPHA attempting to shift to the outside of ARCHIPPUS.

After this, NOBLE ALPHA had some difficulty obtaining clear running when continuing to race tight inside ULTIMATE GLORY as ARCHIPPUS, which was racing in advance of NOBLE ALPHA, shifted out under pressure.

Throughout the race, TRILLION TREASURE travelled wide and without cover.

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

ARCHIPPUS and HIT THE BID were sent for sampling.
