Racing Incident Report
Race Four : (22) - KWONG FUK HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1400Meters
Horse No 1 SUGAR BALL (H394) K C Leung Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 2 TOP TIME (K006) K De Melo Bumped shortly after the start.
When questioned regarding his riding on the Home Turn and the reason he shifted to the inside of RAGING RAPIDS to continue into clear running, K De Melo stated that when positioned close to RAGING RAPIDS he felt that near the 550 Metres he would have had to steady his mount in an attempt to come to that runner's outside.
He said with BIG STRIDE being positioned directly to his outside and WINNING MACHINE racing in advance of that runner he felt his better option was to continue to the inside where he was able to follow the fancied runners ROMAN CROWN and BETTER AND BETTER into the race.
He added that after improving to the inside of RAGING RAPIDS, TOP TIME then became held up for clear running between the 300 Metres and after the 100 Metres where it then finished the race off strongly.
The Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey De Melo in the circumstances were reasonable.
Sent for sampling post-race.

Recap by phillip woo
Sugar Ball was ridden patiently second last from the widest draw before rushing down the outside to lead 200m and out and scrambling in for a third win from 22 starts. He was able to build on placings at his final two starts last term. Top Time was unlucky not to have won after getting badly held up for a run until near the 100m settling third last from gate seven. It was a solid performance. Raging Rapids ran on nicely through the centre for third after a one-off trip from midfield. It was another good run following a last-start win. Roman Crown stayed on fourth best after switching to the inside 300m following a handy run near the inside. He's close to a rating bottom. Favourite Better And Better had his chance but found a few too good after chasing the leader Deal Completed from gate one. He didn't quite see out the trip with a step up to 1,400m. Dashing Dragon ran on late without threatening after making his run one from the rear.
