Recap by phillip woo

Plentiful settled better than midfield with cover after a tardy start, rushed to the lead 200m out and kept on gamely for a first win at his 13th start. It was clearly his best run to date. Happy Horse kept on well for second after chasing the leader on the fence. He relished a return to the level of two course and distance wins last season. Wind Speeder ran on nicely for third with two wider out after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He has been making a good impression late in each of his five starts this term. Favourite Speedy Fortune filled the frame but responded erratically under pressure in the late stages following a handy run on the fence. He has proven costly this term. Circuit Ten got going late to just miss fourth prize money after biding his time three from the rear. He's made a good impression in back-to-back runs following a downgrade. Modest Gentleman was badly held up in traffic after making his run at the rear following a slow start. He should have finished closer. Ace Talent stayed on next best after getting caught wide without cover from midfield for the entire race from gate 11.

Racing Incident Report

Race Two : (213) - CRAMOND ISLAND HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1000Meters



Horse No 1 MODEST GENTLEMAN (G352) C L Chau When questioned, C L Chau stated that as the blindfold was removed prior to the start being effected, MODEST GENTLEMAN then lunged forward when the start was effected, resulting in it making contact with the front of the starting gates and losing ground.

He said after being crowded shortly after MODEST GENTLEMAN settled back in the field.

He further stated that near the 400 Metres he endeavoured to obtain a narrow run to the inside of CIRCUIT TEN which he anticipated would continue to shift out.

He said when CIRCUIT TEN did not shift out, he was obliged to check his mount to avoid CIRCUIT TEN.

He added in the Home Straight he elected to shift to the inside of SPEEDY FORTUNE to obtain clear running as he had observed that runner shift out near the 350 Metres and he felt this would provide his mount with the best opportunity to continue to improve into the event.

He said after improving to the inside of SPEEDY FORTUNE, that runner then shifted in which resulted in MODEST GENTLEMAN being badly held up for clear running over the final 200 Metres when it also blundered when it struck the heels of HAPPY HORSE leaving the 150 Metres.

After considering his explanation, the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Chau in the Home Straight were reasonable in the circumstances.

Horse No 2 SPEEDY FORTUNE (H097) M F Poon Over the concluding stages lay in and was crowded between HAPPY HORSE which shifted out slightly after being bumped on the hindquarters and PLENTIFUL (A Atzeni) which shifted in.

A Atzeni was advised to exercise more care.

As a result, SPEEDY FORTUNE could not be fully ridden out to the finish of the event.

M F Poon was warned in relation to raising his whip arm above shoulder height over the concluding stages.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Y L Chung was advised to exercise more care.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 5 FLYING PHANTOM (J086) Z Purton Near the 400 Metres was steadied to avoid MODEST GENTLEMAN when that runner shifted out.

Near the 100 Metres was steadied when crowded between DIAMOND SOARS and CIRCUIT TEN (C Y Ho) which shifted in.
