CELESTIAL COLOURS (H362): No report. FAST RESPONDER (J295): Shortly after the start raced in restricted room between MAGIC HALLOW and STAR SATYR which shifted out and away from ONE MORE. Between the 400 Metres and the 250 Metres was held up for clear running. ONE MORE (K261): Passing the 400 Metres blundered. Over the final 250 Metres was held up for clear running and as a result could not be ridden out to the finish. DREAM WINNER (H308): When questioned regarding the improved performance, Trainer F C Lor advised that the horse had a throat surgery on 26 September 2024 and since that date he had been satisfied with the performances of DREAM WINNER. He said at its last start at Sha Tin on 15 March 2025 DREAM WINNER was not suited by the "Good to Yielding” track conditions and today he attributed the improved performance to the horse being able to race on a firmer surface.
