PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Circuit Grand Slam rallied nicely for an upset win on his local debut over 1,200m before producing a hard-charging third to rival Helene Supafeeling and an unlucky sixth carrying top weight in back-to-back runs. The step up to 1,400m should suit. Helene Supafeeling kept finding for the win after darting to the lead near the 100m following a patient ride two from the rear on his local debut last month over 1,200m. He's since trialled nicely and won't have any trip issues as a pre-import mile winner. Blazing Wukong rallied to place behind rival Lucky Sam Gor in his first two C&D runs this term before backing up a half-length sixth to Riding Together at this level with an OK fifth over 1,600m. He remains a lightweight chance. Cheaha ran on well for fifth on his local debut over the Valley 1,200m before misfiring with excuses in back-to-back runs. He merits inclusion at a price.
TROUBLE IN RUNNING
CIRCUIT GRAND SLAM (K201) near the 400M and again passing the 350M made contact with a runner when attempting to shift out to obtain clear running. Had difficulty obtaining clear running between the 400M and the 300M. - Race 313.
HELENE SUPAFEELING (L028) jumped only fairly. From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Lay in over the final 200M - Race 255.
AKASHVANI (K234) near the 500M was severely checked and ran wide. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 280.
MASTER OF ALL (H177) blundered on jumping, shifted in and made contact with a runner. Rider reported that he was obliged to make use of his mount in the early stages to hold a forward position, but when unable to cross runners in the early stages his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event. He added as a consequence his mount was unable to run on in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 282.
CHEAHA (K567) had difficulty obtaining clear running near the 300M - Race 282.
STORMY GROVE (K478) near the 900M, whilst racing keenly, was steadied to avoid a runner - Race 302.
TIN FOOK (K167) in the early stages raced keenly. Rider stated that he was obliged to settle back in the field from the outside barrier. He said his mount raced keenly due to the pace of the event being run outside of standard time and as a consequence in the Home Straight was unable to finish the race off. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 283.
IVY LEAGUE (H116) over the final 50M could not be ridden out when held up. Rider reported that his mount hung in throughout the event and proved difficult to ride out in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 251.
KING OF SELECTION (K397) raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 129.
LUCKY SAM GOR (K114) bumped at the start. For some distance after the 450M had difficulty obtaining clear running. Over the final 50M could not be fully ridden out when held up - Race 244.
TOURBILLON PRINCE (H122) rider stated that his instructions were to lead but his mount did not show sufficient pace in the early stages to do so and as a consequence settled further back than intended - Race 283.

Tin Fook worked strongly on the Sha Tin dirt on Tuesday morning and can improve.
