10/10/2015  Shatin  Race 3

Whilst in the saddling stalls, REAL GENEROUS had its right front plate refitted. REAL GENEROUS was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. CHANCELLOR and ELECTRONIC PHOENIX began awkwardly. REAL GENEROUS, FIGHTING BOY and KING BOUNTIFUL were slow to begin. ORACLE was crowded for room on jumping between ALL IS WELL which was taken out by HO LEE HORSE and BEAR-POP which shifted in. From the outside barrier, BEAR-POP was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Passing the 1400 Metres, LEADING HORSE and MONSIEUR MOGOK raced tight due to LEADING HORSE shifting in. Approaching the 1300 Metres, ELECTRONIC PHOENIX was awkwardly placed close to the heels of HO LEE HORSE. After this, ELECTRONIC PHOENIX continued to travel keenly. For some distance approaching and passing the 1300 Metres, BEAR-POP got its head up on a number of occasions when proving difficult to settle. After the 1200 Metres, ORACLE was left racing wide and without cover. ELECTRONIC PHOENIX had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. LEADING HORSE (J Moreira) shifted in and brushed PACKING DRAGON on two occasions near the 200 Metres, resulting in PACKING DRAGON being hampered. J Moreira was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. Passing the 200 Metres, CHANCELLOR momentarily raced in restricted room inside PACKING DRAGON. After the 100 Metres, ELECTRONIC PHOENIX raced tight between MONSIEUR MOGOK and HO LEE HORSE when improving between those horses. A veterinary inspection of BEAR-POP immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LEADING HORSE and PACKING DRAGON were sent for sampling.
