PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE

King Excellente stayed on for a distant third from midfield on a wet track last month following a downgrade over this C&D and is a point below a barnstorming Valley 1,000m on a fast track in December. He must have claims. Dancing Classics has top weight and a wide draw for his Valley 1,200m bow but was a smart debut winner chasing the speed over the straight 1,000m before getting badly impeded in a defeat last month. Tactical Command only found Golden Darci too good last month on a wet track when going for a third Valley 1,200m win this term before coming from last for second to Victor The Rapid in a suitably run race last Wednesday. Honest Witness sat near the pace for fourth or fifth in his first three Sha Tin sprints before running on nicely for third to Never Too Soon ridden near the rear from gate 10 when trying the Valley 1,200m.

TROUBLE IN RUNNING

DANCING CLASSICS (J060) leaving the 600M was severely checked when crowded. Following the race was found that horse to have sustained a laceration to the right front cannon - Race 741.

KING ECCELLENTE (G264) after travelling a short distance became unbalanced when crowded - Race 730.

TACTICAL COMMAND (H197) from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages - Race 821.

GREAT LEGACY (K187) jumped only fairly and was shifted across behind runners in the early stages - Race 582.

BITS SUPERSTAR (J362) raced very wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 783.

TO INFINITY (G277) bumped at the start. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 784.

COSMO LIGHT (J379) raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 753.

TELECOM POWER (J332) crowded shortly after the start. Near the 150M made contact with a runner when it was obtaining a narrow run. Then raced tight to the inside of a runner over the concluding stages when that runner lay in and as a result could not be ridden out to the finish of the event - Race 779.

GOLDEN FRIENDSHIP (K106) shortly after the start was bumped and became unbalanced. Raced very wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 779.

CIRCUIT VICTORY (H487) bumped at the start. Near the 400M was bumped - Race 769.

LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385) despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position - Race 801.

FORTUNE WHISKEY (J153) near the 300M shifted out to improve and bumped with a runner - Race 825.

TRACKWORK HIGHLIGHT

Grand Nova kept up a good gallop under a tight hold in his last trial and has a good draw to work with.
