Hewitson | 10 | 15 | 29 | 7.1 | Star Form:Was fifth from midfield when trying the dirt 1,200m at his second start, then did not figure twice on turf. Resumed eighth from near the rear over 1,200m, then was a one-out, one-back ninth over 1,400m. Downgraded and tackles dirt 1,650m. --3 |

Poon | 9 | 14 | 32 | 7.7 | Star Form:Earned minor cheques in half his eight Class Fours last term but no better than fourth over 1,200m.

Resumed a one-out, one-back third to Draco. Was lame 25 days ago. Is a course and distance query. --3 |

Resumed a fading last after a wide trip near the front at the Valley, then was eighth after a four wide trip from midfield at Sha Tin before coming from last for seventh over the Valley 1,650m.

Teetan | 3 | 6 | 2.7 | 1.1 | Star Form:Was an improved sixth from behind midfield over the Sha Tin 1,200m second up this term, then nearly landed a betting plunge when a one-out, one-back second at his initial Valley 1,650m run. His sire's progeny love dirt. --4 |

PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Oriental Surprise continues to perform consistently well without winning from four starts this term, including a speed-tracking third to Double Bingo two runs ago over today's dirt 1,650m. He must have claims. Winning Diamond has naturally improved in his three starts this term, including a recent brown-lamped one-out, one-back second with a step up to the Valley 1,650m, and his sire's progeny tend to thrive on this surface. Kasa Papa was honest without winning from 11 starts last term, including fourths in his only two dirt 1,650m runs, before returning with an excuse in a paceless Valley 1,650m race. Mazing Grace did have an excuse first up over 1,600m this term before making a good bid late for fifth in his first try over the dirt 1,650m.
TROUBLE IN RUNNING
DIAMOND SPARKLE (L182) passing the 250M, when laying in under pressure, shifted in, resulting in its rider having to stop riding and straighten. Then continued to lay in for the remainder of the race - Race 060.
FLYING SNIPER (L270) shortly after the start was crowded - Race 088.
HE WAS ME (J535) was withdrawn on the day before raceday by order of the Stewards on vet advice (lame right fore) . Has since passed an official vet exam - Race 071.
FLASH STAR (K431) near the 1400M was steadied. Rider stated that from the outside barrier he was instructed to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages. Trainer confirmed the instructions and advised that with the horse stepping up from 1200M to 1650M he issued those instructions to allow it to run out the distance of the race - Race 099.
CELESTIAL HARMONY (K059) rounding the turn near the 1200M was inconvenienced and forced wider on the track. From the 700M raced very wide and without cover - Race 068.
KASA PAPA (G312) raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 099.
ORIENTAL SURPRISE (K028) passing the 50M lay in towards a runner and as a result was eased to avoid heels - Race 099.
MAZING GRACE (K166) hung out rounding the turn at the 1200M. When rounding the turn near the 700M was steadied - Race 068.
WINNING DIAMOND (K216) on jumping became unbalanced when bumped - Race 099.
SPEEDY TRIDENT (K230) near the 1000M was steadied. Rider reported that his mount never travelled at any stage during the race. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 071.
VET'S REPORT
HE WAS ME (J535) 03/10/2026 Lame right fore. Withdrawn from racing. (passed on 14/10/2026).
