PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE

Young Bravo backed up a well-timed win over the Valley 1,800m with pleasing efforts late for fifth in back-to-back runs once across each track carrying tonight's 135lb. He is a full brother to a winner over 2,400m so a step up in trip from 1,800m shoulds suit. Star Brose returns to the 2,200m of a Class Five win in December after a non-threatening ninth over the dirt 1,800m and fast-finishing fifth last Wednesday over the Valley 1,650m in back-to-back runs at this level. He will be running on late. Double Win was a winner of his only 2,200m run in December and has been freshened up after managing one closing sixth over 2,000m from three starts. Gate one should help. Serangoon bounced off a bottom to defeat Audacious Spirit from behind midfield last start over 1,800m. He's up seven points to 54 and will need luck from gate 11 but has placed as high as 57 in the past and does have proven 2,200m form.

TROUBLE IN RUNNING

GALE SAGA (J152) near the 200M rider had his whip knocked from his grasp. Inconvenienced after passing the 100M - Race 414.

SERANGOON (H296) jumped only fairly - Race 437.

DOUBLE WIN (H382) jumped only fairly - Race 370.

SHARPEN BRIGHT (H276) between the 950M and the 850M made contact with a runner on a number of occasions when ridden to hold its position. When giving ground near the 400M was eased when crowded. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 437.

SURE JOYFUL (G125) rider stated that from a wide barrier he was instructed to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages - Race 471.

PACKING HURRICANE (H137) held up for clear running between the 400M and the 200M. After the race was examined by the vet who said an endoscopic exam showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Has since passed an official vet exam - Race 339.

YIU CHEUNG VICTORY (J529) approaching the 350M was steadied when disappointed for clear running and then had difficulty obtaining clear running approaching the 300M when being shifted out. Rider stated that his instructions were to settle the horse where comfortable. He said after being hampered on jumping his mount settled further back in the field than what he had anticipated. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued and said that as the horse raced keenly at its last start with visors on he removed visors from the horse's gear and had instructed rider not to make use of the horse in the early stages so that it would settle better - Race 437.

MEGA FORCE (K200) from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages - Race 437.

STAR BROSE (J463) jumped awkwardly, shifted in and made contact with a runner - Race 471.

CAN'T GO WONG (H087) raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 408.

VET'S REPORT

PACKING HURRICANE (H137) 11/01/2026 Substantial blood in trachea noted on post-race scoping. (passed on 05/02/2026).
