Recap by phillip woo

Great Spirit settled one off the fence fourth from the rear, rounded the final bend six deep and let down strongly to get up 20m out for the win. Disciples Twelve was ridden quietly third from the rear, worked to the center of the course for a clear run at the 150m and finished nicely to make it close on the wire in his first outing on the surface. Charity Joy gave a cheeky sight on the lead and was swamped close to home . Key Witness made a steady bid four deep following a midfield run. Favourite Access Years was effectively in the box-seat, came one off at the 300m and only plodded when asked for an effort. Fight Hero caught the eye when making a good bid from the tail of the field after nearly dumping his rider at the start. He'll have to be kept safe when next stepping out on this surface up to a mile. Fabulous November only plodded over the final 150m after a deep run without cover fore of midfield. Startling Power didn't find much following a one-out, one-back run.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight: (118)-THE YAN CHAI TROPHY (HANDICAP) - Class 2 - 1200Metres

As the start was effected, FIGHT HERO bounded in the air and then stumbled badly, resulting in its rider, C K Tong, becoming badly unbalanced and FIGHT HERO losing a significant amount of ground.

C K Tong stated that after this he ensured that FLIGHT HERO was balanced before commencing to niggle at the horse to make up lost ground.

He said he slapped the horse down the shoulder approaching the 800 Metres and continued to urge it along to make up lost ground.

He said after the 600 Metres he commenced to ride FIGHT HERO vigorously and the horse immediately commenced to make ground.

He added he continued to ride the horse along for the remainder of the race and in the Straight FIGHT HERO finished off the race strongly.

Before being allowed to race again, FIGHT HERO will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial.

FIGHT HERO lost its left front plate at the 800 Metres.

Passing the 700 Metres, STARTLING POWER got its head on the side and shifted in towards the heels of CHARITY JOY, resulting in STARTLING POWER becoming unbalanced.

ACCESS YEARS, which was racing inside STARTLING POWER, was inconvenienced in this incident.

Making the first turn near the 700 Metres, STARTLING POWER momentarily raced tight inside GO BABY GO.

Making the turn after the 700 Metres, RAINBOW FIGHTER got its head on the side and lay out.

In the early part of the Straight, GO BABY GO raced tight inside STARTLING POWER.

Throughout the race, FABULOUS NOVEMBER travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of GO BABY GO and FIGHT HERO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

ACCESS YEARS, GREAT SPIRIT and DISCIPLES TWELVE were sent for sampling.
