Recap by phillip woo

Roundabout came on strongly after travelling fifth from the rear to nail early favourite Coby Boy close to home for the win. Coby Boy was touched off late after advancing to the front 130m out following a one-off run beyond midfield from a wide gate. He's caught the eye in both starts this term following an injury and will winning shortly. Big Bang Bong had to settle for third after reclaim the lead at the 300m chasing the speed one off. He's well-rated off his current mark. Post-time favourite Volitation came up one-paced over the last 200m after pulling off heels at the 320m following a prominent run on the fence. He appears from his past couple of starts to be on his mark. Baba Mama likely would have gotten up from behind midfield for third if not short of room in the last 50m. He can pop up at any time off his current mark. Chung Wah Spirit ran on late without menacing after travelling fourth from the rear. He's been racing better of late and isn't far off a win.

Racing Incident Report

Race Ten: (557) - WANGFUJING HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Meters

ENJOYABLE SUCCESS began only fairly.

HANG'S DECISION bumped the outside of its stall heavily and consequently began very awkwardly, resulting in the horse losing ground.

Then from a wide barrier, HANG'S DECISION was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Also from wide barriers, DOLLAR REWARD and CHUNG WAH SPIRIT were steadied in the early stages in an attempt to obtain cover.

DOLLAR REWARD was however left racing wide and without cover after the 1000 Metres and then lay out rounding the Home Turn.

Near the 350 Metres, STARSHIP was shifted to the inside of VOLITATION after being disappointed for running between that horse and MIDNIGHT RATTLER.

Passing the 100 Metres, BABA MAMA was awkwardly placed behind COBY BOY which shifted out under pressure.

Then close to the finishing line, BABA MAMA was directed to the outside of ROUNDABOUT when unable to improve between that horse and COBY BOY which continued to lay out under pressure.

Because of this, BABA MAMA was not able to be properly tested over the final 50 Metres.

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

VOLITATION, ROUNDABOUT and COBY BOY were sent for sampling.
