PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE

Courier Magic has been doing some fine work late to place in all three extended mile efforts this term, including a short-head second behind Night Purosangue two runs ago over this C&D. Gate nine won't matter too much for the late-running type. Meepmeep has produced no better than a closing fourth over the dirt 1,200m from four starts this term and he does have to offset gate 12, but he returns to the level of a handily ridden C&D win off an identical 39 in April. Beauty Missile was making good ground late for fifth after a wide trip near the rear from gate 10 last month at his first start down in Class Five and over the Valley 1,650m. He did have an excuse from gate 14 in his only dirt 1,650m start. Foremost Teddy comes off two dull runs at the Valley but had given a good sight when only finding a couple too good inside the last 50m in a rare dirt 1,650m start a run prior. He's drawn to get his chance.

TROUBLE IN RUNNING

COURIER MAGIC (H290) shifted in at the start and was bumped. Near the 1400M commenced to race keenly and was steadied away from a runner. Bumped near the 100M. Rider reported that his mount lay out throughout the event - Race 190.

TURF PHOENIX (J294) shifted out at the start and was bumped. After being crossed by a runner leaving the 800M attempted to obtain a position to that runner's outside but was prevented from doing so when another runner improved quickly to its outside. As a result the horse and the latter runner made contact near the 750M - Race 163.

BEAUTY MISSILE (H123) raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 190.

SMART TRIO (J538) from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the first turn was taken wider. Near the 500M made contact with a runner - Race 180.

PHANTOM CYCLONE (J271) shifted out at the start and was bumped. Near the 350M was steadied when unable to improve between two runners. Approaching the 150M made contact with a runner - Race 123.

BINGO BABE (K115) on jumping was bumped. Over the concluding stages could not be ridden out when held up. Rider reported that when his mount commenced well it was able to hold a more forward position than had been anticipated. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 209.

EURO ROCKS (H153) from the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages - Race 191.

GO GO GO (H196) bumped at the start - Race 133.

FOREMOST TEDDY (J058) shifted out at the start and made contact with a runner. Near the 350M blundered when briefly crowded. Rider stated that the instructions were to go forward. She said her mount failed to show sufficient pace in the early stages to do so which resulted in it settling further back in the field before being unable to finish the race off in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 190.

ALL EYES ON ME (J453) jumped awkwardly and shortly after the start was steadied when crowded - Race 209.

VET'S REPORT

HAILTOTHEVICTORS (J508) 23/10/2025 Throat surgery to release epiglottic entrapment. (passed on 21/11/2025).

TRACKWORK HIGHLIGHT

Meepmeep ran a better trial than usual at Sha Tin last month and might be building to a win.
