PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE

Storming Dragon was a C&D winner off 66 on his season debut before earning minor prize money eight times from 12 outings, including third at this past two starts. He has stellar form at this level and will try to topple them late from gate 11. Team Team Folks had gone OK in one of two Sha Tin runs before timing things perfectly last time out to remain perfect in two Valley 1,200m runs. He carries a share of top weight but stays in Class Four which is a plus. Prestige Hall ran on strongly for fourth after a slow start when trying the Valley 1,200m in December before backing up a troubled sixth over the Sha Tin 1,200m with three consecutive come-from-behind seconds. He has Zac Purton to help offset a wide draw. Northern Fire Ball failed to fire once again when retrying Sha Tin 1,000m last start, but was a front-running winner and neck fourth in two prior outings over today's Valley 1,200m. He's the one to catch from gate five.

TROUBLE IN RUNNING

MOTOR (K165) near the 300M shifted out to improve and made contact with a runner - Race 550.

NORTHERN FIRE BALL (J488) rider could offer no excuse for her mount giving ground under pressure over the concluding stages. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 558.

TEAM TEAM FOLKS (K302) bumped on jumping. Over the final 100M was bumped on a number of occasions - Race 512.

GOLDEN EMPIRE (E490) after travelling a short distance made contact with a runner. Leaving the 900M was bumped. Over the concluding stages raced tight. Rider stated that his mount raced "flat" in the event - Race 547.

RYUI KOKOROE (L120) rider reported that when placed under pressure in the Home Straight his mount hung in and proved difficult to ride out. 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 477.

ORIGIN OF FORM (K517) bumped at the start - Race 547.

PRESTIGE HALL (K040) jumped awkwardly and lost ground. Raced keenly in the early and middle stages. For some distance near the 900M got its head up when being steadied. Then shifted out and made contact with a runner near the 850M. Between the 400M and the 300M was held up for clear running - Race 536.

FLYING CHRISTIE (K483) was slow to begin - Race 589.

HAYDAY (H321) rider stated that with the early and middle stages of the event being run inside of standard time his mount was unable to finish the race off in the Home Straight, particularly under its top weight of 135 lbs. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 550.

HEROIC MASTER (G394) bumped on the hindquarters shortly after the start - Race 528.
