Recap by phillip woo

Xponential shook off challenges for the lead first by Campione and then Ping Hai Galaxy before holding off Seasons Wit in a bob of the heads for a seventh career win on both surfaces from 46th start. Favourite Seasons Wit made it close on the wire after a prominent run. It was a terrific effort at his first start on the surface. Chancheng Prince ran on nicely to finish a close third after a rails run from behind midfield. He's always a chance on this surface but is better suited over the 1,650m. Hit late to jump favourite, Majestic Star ran on reasonably well for fourth after a patient ride one from the rear. It was another honest effort. Youthful Deal came up one-paced after a one-off trip from midfield. He does appear to have hit his mark. Campione gradually faded after chasing the speed wide without cover from gate six. He had an excuse but will be one worth keeping safe with Class Three looming large. Computer Patch never got into the act ridden last from an outside draw. Ping Hai Galaxy faded in the straight drive after putting it to the leader 800m out. He appears from his past two starts to be on his mark following a win.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three : (281) - CHOI HUNG HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1200Meters



Horse No 1 PING HAI GALAXY (C377) A Badel After the race, A Badel reported that his mount failed to finish the race off and, in his opinion, may have been attributed to the additional 9 lbs the horse had to carry from its previous win on the All Weather Track on 3 December 2023.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Horse No 2 SEASONS WIT (H223) Z Purton Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 4 MAJESTIC STAR (E203) J McDonald Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 5 YOUTHFUL DEAL (G340) C Y Ho A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse's trachea.

Horse No 6 COMPUTER PATCH (D139) M Chadwick After the race, M Chadwick explained that from barrier 7 he was given specific instructions to ride his mount quieter today given the amount of speed drawn inside.

Trainer K H Ting confirmed that the instructions were specific to have the horse ridden quieter today as it had failed in recent starts when ridden in a forward position..

Horse No 7 CAMPIONE (G235) M F Poon Raced wide and without cover throughout the race.

Horse No 8 XPONENTIAL (D049) K Teetan Sent for sampling post-race.
