Recap by phillip woo

Punted late, Red Majesty was on his tippy toes late but had enough left in the tank after straightening three lengths on top after leading from gate eight. He was very well rated in front and took full advantage of a light weight despite a rise in class to ring up a third straight win. Favourite Savvy Kingman closed with every stride along the inside to land second after travelling midfield on the fence following a sluggish start. He's racing well. All You Know ran on well down the far outside to grab third in deep stretch after a patient ride second last from a middle gate. He had found the line well last start at Sha Tin. Specked late, All Joyful made good progress through the middle to fill the frame after travelling third last from a wide gate for the most part. He's run with merit in back-toback runs. More Than Enough kept on one-paced after a one-out, one-back run. He couldn't turn it up another gear carrying co-top weight on this occasion. Nitro Express ran on without menacing from the rear of the field. The old-timer wasn't up to the task up in grade off a light weight. Jolly Honour ran on without threatening near the outside after a rails run behind midfield. He was too far back in the run.

Racing Incident Report

Race Six: (743) - SILVER MINE BAY HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Meters

SAVVY KINGMAN lifted its front feet off the ground as the start was effected and began only fairly.

JOLLY HONOUR lost ground when crowded for room on jumping between MORE THAN ENOUGH which shifted out marginally and SINCERE BOY which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider.

RED MAJESTY shifted in at the start and bumped ALL YOU KNOW.

A short distance after this, ALL YOU KNOW lost ground when steadied away from the heels of GOOD BUDDY which shifted out.

ALL JOYFUL was crowded for room on jumping between SHADOW BREAKER and LITTLE BIRD which shifted out.

After this, from a wide barrier, ALL JOYFUL was shifted across behind runners.

NITRO EXPRESS was also shifted across behind runners in the early stages from a wide barrier.

From the outside barrier, SHADOW BREAKER was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners and then was left racing wide and without cover passing the 1200 Metres.

After being left racing wide and without cover, SHADOW BREAKER was then allowed to improve its position after the 1000 Metres, however, continued to race wide and without cover.

After the 600 Metres, MORE THAN ENOUGH and GOOD BUDDY raced tight.

SINCERE BOY made the turn after the 600 Metres awkwardly.

LITTLE BIRD and MORE THAN ENOUGH bumped rounding the Home Turn.

Approaching the 300 Metres, NITRO EXPRESS was shifted in away from the heels of LITTLE BIRD.

After the race, Z Purton was not able to offer an explanation for the disappointing performance of GOOD BUDDY.

He said after being able to shift in to obtain cover passing the 1200 Metres, GOOD BUDDY came under pressure passing the 700 Metres when MORE THAN ENOUGH commenced to shift out to its inside.

He said after this GOOD BUDDY came under heavy pressure and despite being vigorously ridden out approaching and rounding the Home Turn did not quicken and then gave ground over the latter stages of the race.

He added he did note that this was the first time that GOOD BUDDY had attempted the distance and felt that given the manner in which the horse failed to finish off the race, it may not have handled the step-up in trip at its first time of asking.

A veterinary inspection of GOOD BUDDY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A veterinary inspection of SINCERE BOY and LITTLE BIRD immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

RED MAJESTY and SAVVY KINGMAN were sent for sampling.
