30/10/2016  Happy Valley  Race 10

HAPPY SURVEYS and LITTERATEUR were slow to begin. HIT THE BID began only fairly and then shortly after the start lost ground when crowded for room between CHARITY JOY and FLYING TOURBILLON which shifted out. From the outside barrier, MIDNIGHT RATTLER was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Passing the 650 Metres, APOLLO'S CHOICE shifted in and bumped BACK IN BLACK. Passing the 350 Metres, HAPPY SURVEYS was shifted to the inside of TURF SPRINT after being disappointed for running between that horse and BULLISH SMART which shifted in when commencing to give ground. Passing the 300 Metres, HIT THE BID was shifted to the outside of FLYING TOURBILLON after being disappointed for running inside that horse. Passing the 100 Metres, BACK IN BLACK raced tight outside DRAGON GENERAL which shifted out. Over the concluding stages, BACK IN BLACK then shifted out away from DRAGON GENERAL, resulting in APOLLO'S CHOICE being hampered. Passing the winning post, FLYING TOURBILLON jumped a shadow and became unbalanced. Throughout the race, BULLISH SMART travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of TURF SPRINT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BLOCKER DEE and FLYING TOURBILLON were sent for sampling.
