Recap by phillip woo

Early favourite Hard Promise led from a middle gate and kept up a strong gallop to easily notch a first win at his 16th start. Bingo stalked the eventual winner and kept on all right for second. It was a better run with a move to seven-pound claimer Victor Wong. Gracious Ryder wore down Young Empire for third with a move from just worse than midfield despite being short of room at times early straight. He does act best over this Sha Tin trip. Young Empire kept on one-paced following a prominent run on the fence. He's having trouble recapturing top form but this was a shade better effort. Post-time favourite Mr Darthvegar came on reasonably well late near the outside after a patient ride three-deep and fourth from the back to pick up a pay slip as the firming favourite.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three: (303) - GRASSY HILL HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters

MR DARTHVEGAR, which was fractious and reared on a number of occasions after being placed in the barriers, will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test before being allowed to race again.

MR MAGELLAN was slow to begin and then shifted out towards the heels of BINGO.

BINGO shifted out at the start and inconvenienced GRACIOUS RYDER and KING MORTAR which began awkwardly.

DIONYSUS COLLIN began only fairly and then was crowded for room on jumping between TRIUMPHANT LORD and HK TOURBILLON which shifted in abruptly.

From wide barriers, HK TOURBILLON and MR DARTHVEGAR were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Passing the 1000 Metres, GRACIOUS RYDER momentarily raced tight inside TRIUMPHANT LORD which shifted in before being directed out abruptly to relieve the tightening to GRACIOUS RYDER.

After this, TRIUMPHANT LORD raced wide and without cover.

Also passing the 1000 Metres, HK TOURBILLON was awkwardly placed close to the heels of MR DARTHVEGAR.

Near the 100 Metres, KING MORTAR was shifted in away from the heels of BURST AWAY which was giving ground.

After the race, it was reported that MR DARTHVEGAR had sustained a small abrasion to the left forearm.

TRIUMPHANT LORD lost its left front plate after the race.

A veterinary inspection of BURST AWAY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

MR DARTHVEGAR, HARD PROMISE and BINGO were sent for sampling.
