Recap by phillip woo

Toronado Phantom split runners 50m out to nab Trillion Win in the final few strides from near last for fifth career win from 18 starts. It was his best run in the grade but he was better for three trials in Conghua. Trillion Win wouldn't go down without a fight after getting pressured for the lead by favourite Beauty Tycoon. It was a better run reunited with his favourite rider. Rock Ya Heart finished a close third after a prominent run on the fence. He's as honest as the day is long. Winning Method ran on late for fourth after making his run two from the rear. He rarely produces a bad run. Beauty Tycoon was yielding ground over the last 100m after giving the leader no favours. He found things harder in a higher grade with a return to Sha Tin following back-to-back wins at the Valley. Power Koepp was strung up in traffic for most the straight travelling behind midfield on the fence. He should have finished closer. Eason had his chance after a one-out, oneback run. Prefer him in Class Three and at the Valley. Oriental Smoke never got involved from the rear. He's likely on his mark.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three: (371) - THE HEUNG YEE KUK CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 2 - 1200Meters



ROCK YA HEART began only fairly.

POWER KOEPP shifted out at the start and bumped ORIENTAL SMOKE which in turn bumped WINNING METHOD.

IMA SINGLE MAN (Apprentice Y L Chung) shifted in at the start and hampered TORONADO PHANTOM which was steadied when crowded for room outside WINNING METHOD.

Apprentice Y L Chung was advised to ensure that he makes every endeavour to prevent his mounts from shifting ground in similar circumstances.

After this, TORONADO PHANTOM was steadied and shifted across behind runners.

ORIENTAL SMOKE was also steadied shortly after the start to obtain cover.

For some distance after the 800 Metres, POWER KOEPP travelled keenly and was awkwardly placed behind EASON.

Then approaching the 600 Metres, POWER KOEPP, which was continuing to travel keenly, shifted out away from the heels of EASON and raced tight inside the hindquarters of WINNING METHOD.

POWER KOEPP was then held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn and in the early part of the Straight and approaching the 200 Metres was shifted to the inside of TORONADO PHANTOM to continue improving.

Then over the concluding stages, POWER KOEPP was again unable to obtain clear running and because of this was not able to be fully tested all the way to the end of the race.

At the 450 Metres, IMA SINGLE MAN, which travelled wide and without cover throughout the race, raced tight outside EASON which shifted out to obtain clear running.

ROCK YA HEART was held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn and in the early part of the Straight was awkwardly placed behind BEAUTY TYCOON when continuing to be held up for clear running behind that horse.

TORONADO PHANTOM, which was following ROCK YA HEART, was shifted to the inside of that horse near the 350 Metres to obtain clear running.

EASON was struck over the nose by the whip of Z Purton (ROCK YA HEART) passing the 300 Metres.

A veterinary inspection of IMA SINGLE MAN and BEAUTY TYCOON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

BEAUTY TYCOON, TORONADO PHANTOM and TRILLION WIN were sent for sampling.
