Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (501) - AP LEI CHAU HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1650Meters
SECRET VISION jumped only fairly and then was bumped by SILVER HAMMER which shifted in.
INCANTO PREPARED also jumped only fairly and then raced tight to the inside of GIFT OF LIFELINE for a short distance after the start.
STORM LEGEND bumped with NIMBLE NIMBUS soon after the start, resulting in STORM LEGEND becoming unbalanced and then shifting out when awkwardly placed close to the heels of E LEGEND.
From the outside barriers, STAR CONTACT and RISING FROM ASHES were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
LOYAL BABY raced wide in the early stages before being allowed to stride forward and obtain a position in the lead leaving the 900 Metres.
Passing the 1000 Metres, BEAUTY TURN commenced to race keenly and got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of E LEGEND.
Near the 700 Metres, RISING FROM ASHES shifted out when being steadied away from STAR CONTACT.
Approaching the 600 Metres, E LEGEND commenced to race keenly when the pace was steadied by LOYAL BABY, resulting in E LEGEND being steadied from LOYAL BABY.
BEAUTY TURN, which was following E LEGEND, was awkwardly placed close to E LEGEND and shifted out, causing SILVER HAMMER to be taken out and make contact with STORM LEGEND, resulting in STORM LEGEND and SILVER HAMMER becoming unbalanced and STORM LEGEND being taken wider.
When commencing to finish the race off well approaching the 50 Metres, RISING FROM ASHES was eased when disappointed for running between STORM LEGEND and SILVER HAMMER which shifted out slightly.
RISING FROM ASHES was then shifted to the inside of SILVER HAMMER over the concluding stages to obtain clear running.
After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on SECRET VISION at the request of Trainer C S Shum.

Before being allowed to race again, SECRET VISION will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Nimble Nimbus chased the speed and wore down Loyal Baby 20m out for his third Happy Valley 1,650m win this season and his second victory in a row. He loves this course and distance and should hold his own up in grade with a light weight. Loyal Baby did not go down without a fight after circling the field to lead 700m from home. He won two runs ago. Star Contact did his best work late after being ridden for luck from gate 11. It was another strong effort after carrying more weight following his last-start success. Punted late, Secret Vision ran on steadily without menacing from midfield. He was OK in his Happy Valley start. Silver Hammer stayed on all right after switching out for a clear run near the 100m following his handy run on the fence. He seems to be heading in the right direction and appears to want a longer trip. Incanto Prepared peaked on his run 100m out after fading back to have two behind him rounding the final bend. He might be one to consider in Class Four when he drops into it. Storm Legend made a mild bid from behind midfield. He did not get the tempo to suit, but he does mix his form.
