PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE

Old-timer Can't Go Wong's change in tactics backfired on his season debut last month over today's Valley 1,800m. He ticks more than a few boxes down in Class Five with Zac Purton climbing on board from gate two. Veteran Sharpen Bright failed to salute 12 times for three trainers last term but was once third off a rating 19 points higher over the Sha Tin 1,800m and is a past Valley 1,800m winner off 60. He's down in Class Five and is drawn to get the right sort of run. Kingly Demeanor tends to improve with racing but did set the pace for second off 40 three times over the Valley 1,800m from his final six starts last term. He remains a pace threat. Ocean Impact was only seventh best from midfield with late market action on his season debut over the Valley 1,800m and has a tricky gate but is rated a class and nine points below a course and distance win in November.

TROUBLE IN RUNNING

CAN'T GO WONG (H087) rider reported that his instructions were to hold a midfield position. He said when his mount jumped well it obtained a more forward position than intended - Race 031.

SHARPEN BRIGHT (H276) shortly after the start was bumped. Near the 600M lay in when under pressure and made contact with a runner. Near the 500M raced tight - Race 777.

GRAND TURBO (L138) jumped only fairly - Race 021.

KINGLY DEMEANOR (H486) post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 834.

OCEAN IMPACT (J502) shifted out shortly after the start and was bumped. Rider stated that, in his opinion, the horse would derive a fitness benefit from its first up performance. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 031.

SMILING ONE (K336) jumped only fairly and then raced tight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 037.

GOOD LUCK WIN (J135) despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 766.

GOLDEN FORTUNE (K500) on jumping was bumped - Race 004.

SPLENDID FORCE (K120) shortly after the start became unbalanced when it bumped with a runner - Race 004.

PERFECT PAIRING (J331) bumped shortly after the start - Race 037.

TURF PHOENIX (J294) raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 046.

SETANTA (G095) near the 250M was steadied - Race 058.

TRACKWORK HIGHLIGHT

Golden Fortune showed plenty to work with when third in a trial on the Sha Tin dirt.
