Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Secret Weapon gradually improved to sit midfield along the rails at the 900m, was presented a clear run three deep at the 150m and quickened nicely in a twinkle of an eye to take control 80m out for a fourth win from five mile outings. Victory Magic was held up at the tail of the field after going back from a wide gate until gaining a run five deep at the 250m and finished willingly to edge Anticipation for second in a much-improved effort. He'll be winning a race shortly. Anticipation settled worse than midfield outside Secret Weapon and finished up nicely after having to duck underneath at tiring runner 200m out to make it close for second. He's another winning waiting to happen. Late-fancied favourite Circuit Land rushed to the front four deep at the 350m after a no-cover run near the speed and peaked on his run 100m out. Travel First kept grinding away to just miss a Quartet spot following a prominent run along the fence. Sante Fe Sun made ground late near the inside.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eleven: (160)-LA COLLINE HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1600Metres

HORSE OF FORTUNE was withdrawn on 7.11.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (upper respiratory tract infection) and was replaced by first Standby Declared Starter GOLDEN SLEEP (K Teetan).

SKYROCKETS was also withdrawn on 7.11.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by second Standby Declared Starter RACING HERO (K C Leung).

Before being allowed to race again, HORSE OF FORTUNE and SKYROCKETS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

TRAVEL FIRST began awkwardly.

REGENCY KING, which was leaning on the inside of its stall as the start was effected, lost ground shortly after the start when crowded for room between TWIN DELIGHT and SICHUAN VIGOUR which was taken in by CIRCUIT LAND after that horse shifted ground after being bumped by RACING HERO on jumping.

In this incident, TWIN DELIGHT became unbalanced after receiving contact on the hindquarters from REGENCY KING.

From the outside barrier, VICTORY MAGIC was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Passing the 1400 Metres, UNIVERSAL UNION was momentarily crowded for room inside ANTICIPATION which shifted in before being directed back out to relieve the tightening to UNIVERSAL UNION.

When ANTICIPATION was shifted back out, GOLDEN SLEEP, which was following, was hampered in consequence.

Throughout the race, REGENCY KING travelled wide and without cover and approaching the 1100 Metres got its head up when travelling keenly.

VICTORY MAGIC and SECRET WEAPON were both held up for clear running from on straightening until the 250 Metres.

Near the 250 Metres, REGENCY KING was shifted out away from the heels of TWIN DELIGHT which shifted out and away from ANTICIPATION after being brushed by that horse which got its head on the side and shifted out when awkwardly placed close to the heels of GLORIOUS LAD.

UNIVERSAL UNION, which was following and which was having difficulty obtaining clear running, was hampered in consequence.

Close to the finishing line, ANTICIPATION turned its head to the right and attempted to savage VICTORY MAGIC.

Mr A S Cruz, the trainer of ANTICIPATION, was advised that a warning would be placed on ANTICIPATION in respect of its racing manners.

Throughout the race, CIRCUIT LAND travelled wide and without cover.

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

CIRCUIT LAND, SECRET WEAPON and VICTORY MAGIC were sent for sampling.
