FOR THE RECORD
TT FORTUNES
There was no winner and a jackpot of $5,682,845 will be carried forward to next Sunday’s Sha Tin meeting. In the first leg, Ice Legend ($172) came from last to deny Stand Up ($20) with Light Of Wanshi ($55) a long way back in third to keep $198,265 alive. Righteous Doctrine ($52) collared long-time leader Skyey Supreme ($190) for the win with Legion Of Merit ($37) close away in third to keep $665 in play with two legs down. Sensationally-backed Quadruple Double ($192) gave a cheeky sight to just hold off Majestic Knight ($320) with Run Run Cool ($52) in third in a difficult last leg.
WHERE THERE’S SMOKE
RACE 1
The Multiplier ($52 to $37) shot clear 150m out after a wide
with cover run forward of midfield to land a betting move. RACE 2 Regency Gem ($360 to $190) made some ground without
menacing from midfield with late-market support.
RACE 3 Money was spot on for United We Stand ($53 to $33) who made
all with the claim well utilised.
RACE 4 Firming favourite Stand Up ($25 to $20) found one too good
after moving to the front 200m following a speed-tracking run. RACE 5 Legion Of Merit ($61 to $37) had his chance but found a couple
too good following a box-seat run.
RACE 6 Quadruple Double ($460 to $192) kept on gamely on the speed
to just deny Majestic Knight ($490 to $320) for the win.
RACE 7 Trader ($460 to $250) faded after a speed-chasing run with
late-market support.
RACE 8 Young Victory ($150 to $54) just failed to get up from midfield
with bags of money for him late in betting.
RACE 9 Happy Together ($1,370 to $860) came from near last for fifth
with late-market action at long odds.
RACE 10 Campione ($79 to $59) just came up short of going wire-to-wire
with punters coming for him late in betting.
SIN BIN
Colourful Prince ($50), in Race One, was given every chance in the one-one but found nothing when push came to shove. It was a disappointing run despite a downgrade and he’ll need to show more.
STICK WITH
Hava Nageela ($360), in Race Seven, came from last for a pleasing fifth on debut in Hong Kong. He had shown good form to win three times in Ireland and should be winning when fully acclimatised. VITAL STATISTICS
