Recap by phillip woo

Early favourite Winning Gold bolted clear after a ducking-and-weaving run to lead 200m out from behind midfield on the fence for a first win at his sixth start. Top Peak stayed on well for second after a rails run from midfield. He did have excuses in three consecutive runs after placing on debut. Post-time favourite Young Horizon had his chance but wasn't good enough after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He just finds things too tough in this grade. Daring Pursuit was held up for a majority of the straight and should have finished much closer after a patient ride out back from gate 10. Smart Folks kept on all right after tracking the leader Miu Fa Fa from gate 13. It was a much better effort on his past four starts. Great Spirit kept on reasonably well to finish next best after a wide trip from behind midfield with a step up to 1,400m. Newcomer Miu Fa Fa weakened over the last 100m after clearing to the lead from gate 12. Beauty Glory was badly held up for most the straight after a box-seat run. He has had excuses in Class Four defeats.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three : (580) - CHAOYANGMEN HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1400Meters

Horse No 1 DARING PURSUIT (G424) C Y Ho Shortly after the start was steadied when crowded between GOOD GOOD which was taken in by MIU FA FA and HOLY POWER which was taken out by SAVVY ELEGANCE.

After the 350 Metres became held up behind KYEEMA and did not obtain clear running until approaching the 200 Metres.

Over the concluding stages raced in restricted room and had some difficulty obtaining clear running when racing tight between YOUNG HORIZON and TOP PEAK.

Horse No 2 KYEEMA (J055) H Bowman Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

After the race, Trainer M Newnham stated that his instructions were to settle back in the field from the outside barrier.

He said after the race H Bowman reported that his mount jumped well and as a result settled in a more forward position than what had been intended.

Horse No 3 BEAUTY GLORY (E459) Y L Chung Near the 1000 Metres, when racing keenly, was steadied to avoid MIU FA FA (K C Leung) which shifted in when not clear.

K C Leung was reprimanded.

When questioned, Apprentice Y L Chung stated that after entering the Home Straight BEAUTY GLORY was held up for clear running between MIU FA FA and SMART FOLKS.

He said after the 300 Metres he then attempted to shift to the outside of SMART FOLKS to obtain clear running but was prevented from doing so when KYEEMA shifted in slightly.

He added BEAUTY GLORY remained badly held up for clear running behind SMART FOLKS until the finish of the event.

When questioned if there was an opportunity to improve to the inside of SMART FOLKS after the 150 Metres, Apprentice Chung stated that his focus had been on improving to the outside of SMART FOLKS and he had not observed a run being available to the inside of that runner, but had expressed some reservations as to whether his mount would have been able to take advantage of that position.

The Stewards advised Apprentice Chung that, wherever possible, he should ensure that he takes advantage of any run that becomes available in similar circumstances.

After the race, the Veterinary Surgeon reported that BEAUTY GLORY had sustained a wound to the left hind cannon.

Horse No 4 HOLY POWER (H039) L Hewitson Crowded shortly after the start.
