Recap by phillip woo

Friends Of Ka Ying pressed forward to stalk the leader from a wide gate, assumed the lead 400m out and kept finding for a first win with the blinkers applied. Helene Paragon settled three deep without cover and was closing the gap with every stride in an encouraging debut performance. Favourite Secret Weapon bided his time along the rails and closed off well to grab a placing. He's better over a mile. Why Why had his chance following a one-out, one-back run and came up one-paced over the final 150m. The Monarch finished nicely in a solid debut performance. Berlini peaked on his run after making a brief bid. Rapper Dragon made up heaps of ground after bombing the start. Cheeky Too made only a mild bid following a rails run in midfield.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (354)-THE POK OI CUP (HANDICAP) (Sec2) - Class 2 - 1400Metres

RAPPER DRAGON kicked a wall on leaving the Parade Ring and then on entering the track became fractious, resulting in its rider, K Teetan, being momentarily dislodged.

On arrival at the Start, RAPPER DRAGON was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said that in his opinion it was suitable to race.

RAPPER DRAGON began very awkwardly and then was intractable for a short distance after the start, resulting in K Teetan becoming badly unbalanced and losing his left stirrup iron and causing RAPPER DRAGON to lose a significant amount of ground.

Before being allowed to race again, RAPPER DRAGON will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial.

SECRET WEAPON and HELENE PARAGON were crowded for room on jumping between BULLISH BOY and CHEEKY TOO which shifted out.

In this incident, HELENE PARAGON bumped the hindquarters of BULLISH BOY which became unbalanced.

After this, SECRET WEAPON was ridden along for some distance to improve its position.

WHY WHY shifted in at the start and inconvenienced TRAVEL BROTHER.

BERLINI travelled keenly in the early and middle stages.

After the 800 Metres, HELENE PARAGON was left racing wide and without cover.

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

SECRET WEAPON, FRIENDS OF KA YING and HELENE PARAGON were sent for sampling.
