20/05/2015  Happy Valley  Race 5

PROPEL REPEL began only fairly and shortly after the start was steadied when crowded for room between CONFUCIUS SPIRIT and HAPPY SURVEYS which shifted out. SECRET AGENT began only fairly. From wide barriers, PEACE COMBINATION and MI SAVVY were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the turn after the 1100 Metres, PEACE COMBINATION got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of HAPPY HOMING. Near the 850 Metres, PEACE COMBINATION became unbalanced after being momentarily crowded for room inside HAPPY HOMING which shifted in marginally when proving difficult to settle. After this, HAPPY HOMING continued to race keenly and shifted out approaching the 800 Metres, resulting in GLORY BOY being taken wider. Making the turn after the 600 Metres, MI SAVVY raced in restricted room inside GLORY BOY which improved to be racing tight inside HAPPY HOMING which lay in. Also making the turn after the 600 Metres, SECRET AGENT shifted out marginally and was awkwardly placed inside the heels of CONFUCIUS SPIRIT. PROPEL REPEL lost is left front plate near the 350 Metres. For the majority of the race, GLORY BOY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of KING’S STEED and PEACE COMBINATION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. HAPPY SURVEYS and KING OF HOUSEHOLD were sent for sampling.
