Recap by phillip woo

Long-time leader and late-plunged Planet Star fought back when headed by the favourite Fat Turtle approaching the 200m to claim victory 100m out. Fat Turtle did everything right but get the win tracking the leader from a wide gate. Mr Genuine ran on well from beyond midfield to finish a distant third. It was his best run of the campaign but he is well rated off his current mark. Split Of A Second produced only a grinding effort following a prominent run with cover. He continues to finish in the mix following a rise in class three runs back. Casa De Forca held his ground after a deep run without cover fore of midfield. He has shown tinges of ability in his three starts and is better suited on his overseas form over a longer trip. Happy Win Win finished well after a patient ride second from the rear. He has been hitting the line well in three of his five starts. Lady First did not fire following a midfield run on the fence. It was a below par performance.

Racing Incident Report

Race Six: (608) - THE KOREA RACING AUTHORITY TROPHY (HANDICAP) - Class 3 - 1200Meters

SPLIT OF A SECOND began awkwardly.

From wide barriers, HAPPY WIN WIN and BRAVERY AND POWER were steadied to obtain cover.

After being shifted across behind MR GENUINE shortly after the start, DIAMOND RHYME gave ground despite being ridden along and consequently raced back in the field.

Making the first turn near the 1050 Metres, JENERATOR became unbalanced of its own accord when being steadied to obtain cover.

Then near the 900 Metres, JENERATOR again became badly unbalanced of its own accord.

Also near the 1050 Metres, MR GENUINE momentarily raced in restricted room inside RED DESERT.

After the 900 Metres, SPLIT OF A SECOND raced tight inside CASA DE FORCA which shifted in before being directed out to relieve the tightening to SPLIT OF A SECOND.

After this, CASA DE FORCA travelled wide and without cover.

Making the turn after the 600 Metres and in the Straight, BRAVERY AND POWER hung out and proved difficult to ride.

Before being allowed to race again, BRAVERY AND POWER will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial around a bend.

At the 275 Metres, M F Poon (SPLIT OF A SECOND) momentarily dropped his left rein.

Approaching the 250 Metres, HAPPY WIN WIN and WECARE N PROSPER raced tight.

After the race, K C Leung stated that LADY FIRST was one-paced in tonight's race and believed that the horse would be better suited by a step-up in distance in its future races.

A veterinary inspection of LADY FIRST immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A veterinary inspection of RED DESERT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

PLANET STAR and FAT TURTLE were sent for sampling.
