08/02/2017  Happy Valley  Race 4

POWERMAX began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped LOVE CHUNGHWA. POWERMAX then shifted in and bumped COUR VALANT, causing both COUR VALANT and POWERMAX to become unbalanced. From wide barriers, VICTORY MUSIC, DON’T MISS and M REBORN were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the first turn near the 1000 Metres, after being ridden along in the early stages, HASTA LA VISTA was steadied to obtain a position closer to the rail. Making the turn approaching and passing the 1000 Metres, COUR VALANT got its head on the side and lay out when awkwardly placed close to the heels of POWERMAX. Making the turn after the 1000 Metres, LOVE CHUNGHWA got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of ELITE EXPRESS. Approaching the 500 Metres, POWERMAX momentarily raced in restricted room inside CLEVER SPIRIT which got its head on the side and lay in behind CIRCUIT KING. Making the Home Turn, LOVE CHUNGHWA was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ELITE EXPRESS. Throughout the race, NATURAL TEAM travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. A veterinary inspection of NATURAL TEAM immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CIRCUIT KING lost its left front plate after the race. POWERMAX and CIRCUIT KING were sent for sampling.
