14/10/2015  Happy Valley  Race 2

MR VANILLA began only fairly. YEUNG SING was crowded for room on jumping between SWEET BEAN which shifted out and CRIMSON HEART which shifted in after beginning awkwardly. Then from wide barriers, SWEET BEAN, YEUNG SING and CRIMSON HEART were all shifted across behind runners. Despite being vigorously ridden along in the early stages, BETTER ANNOUNCE failed to muster speed. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, SAFARI MAGIC was left racing wide and without cover and was then ridden along to improve its position to settle outside the lead after the 1100 Metres. Passing the 1400 Metres, RED ADVENTURE travelled keenly and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of CHOICE EXCHEQUER. Approaching the 1300 Metres, ENDLESS LOVE bumped the running rail and shifted out, resulting in STRIKE EAGLE being inconvenienced. Near the 300 Metres, STRIKE EAGLE shifted out away from the heels of KHARU which shifted out when commencing to give ground. Over the concluding stages, SWEET BEAN raced in restricted room between BETTER ANNOUNCE and CHOICE EXCHEQUER. A veterinary inspection of KHARU immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. YEUNG SING, CHOICE EXCHEQUER and MR VANILLA were sent for sampling.
