Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Waldorf found another gear at the 150m after being pressured to pick up at the 450m travelling prominent to grab Most Beautiful in deep stretch to continue his fantastic campaign over this Valley trip. Most Beautiful found one just too good after dashing to the front 100m out following a box-seat run. Confucius Day just out-finished Nordic Warrior from midfield to add value to the tierce. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come from him after failing to make an impression in three other starts. Nordic Warrior got going late near the outside travelling one-off behind midfield to just miss a placing. He's pretty honest and didn't get the pace to suit. Noble Delight was yielding ground 100m out despite cornering two lengths on top after an easy time in front. Fearless Fire ran on without menacing from near the back. He needs a faster pace. Starlit Knight did nothing despite tonnes of money for him late. He requires a longer trip.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three: (587) - KOWLOON BAY HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters

On arrival at the Start, T H So expressed concern regarding the action of FANTASTIC FABIO.

FANTASTIC FABIO was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

Shortly after the start, NORDIC WARRIOR shifted in and bumped CONFUCIUS DAY.

From wide barriers, STARLIT KNIGHT and FEARLESS FIRE were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

SHANGHAI MASTER was also steadied in the early stages, however, was not able to obtain cover at any stage during the race.

At the entrance to the Straight, STARLIT KNIGHT was shifted to the inside of NORDIC WARRIOR to obtain clear running and then passing the 150 Metres was directed to the inside of FEARLESS FIRE which shifted out under pressure.

Over the final 75 Metres, NORDIC WARRIOR was awkwardly placed behind WALDORF which drifted out under pressure and then close to the finishing line was shifted to the inside of that horse.

Because of this, NORDIC WARRIOR was not able to be fully tested over the concluding stages.

WALDORF and MOST BEAUTIFUL were sent for sampling.
