![]() SCMP trackwork notes...
RACE NINE, RATED Terms (G2), 1,800 METRES Thumbs Up impressed in his final piece on Thursday and hit the line with relish over the final 200m under Christophe Soumillon. Unique Jewellery has had several steady Size-style gallops and also had a quiet trial last Thursday under Douglas Whyte. More Bountiful is the ultimate professional and has done nothing to suggest he cannot continue his strong vein of form. Roma Pegasus has been the improver, going ahead in leaps and bounds since his unlucky run in the Classic Mile. Redragtoabull has gone well in recent weeks and his final piece under Weichong Marwing was excellent. |

ROMA PEGASUS began awkwardly, bumped the inside gate of its stall, then due to the slow tempo in the early stages proved difficult to settle and near the 1400 Metres was checked away from the heels of MORE BOUNTIFUL which was also proving difficult to settle. When ROMA PEGASUS was checked, it shifted in and caused crowding on its inside to LEGEND OF COLOUR. Shortly after this, MORE BOUNTIFUL, which was continuing to over-race, shifted out and bumped SLEEP WELL which in turn caused ABOVE ALL to be steadied and carried wider. In the Straight, THUMBS UP hung in, near the 300 Metres shifted ground and raced tight outside LEGEND OF COLOUR, then near the 200 Metres got its head on the side and shifted in behind LEGEND OF COLOUR as that horse shifted out. BEAUTY FOREVER was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of BEAUTY FOREVER after the race did not show any significant findings. THUMBS UP, UNIQUE JEWELLERY and KINGS FALCON were sent for sampling. Breed of the Winning Horse-Online UNIQUE JEWELLERY Sire: O'Reilly Dam: Aulide |
