PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE

Meowth has reeled off a top four finish in six times over the Valley 1,200m from seven starts, including his past three starts in Class Three, after an all-the-favours success in November. Gate 10 complicates things but he's in the right grade. Argento Ocean returned to the Class Four level of a win and a second from four earlier Valley 1,200m starts with a length second sitting near the speed last start behind World Hero. He remains a key player despite gate 12 and top weight. Superb King has kept on for minor cheques on or chasing the speed seven times over 1,000m and 1,200m at this track from his past nine starts, including a recent front-running second behind Gameplayer Elite under a 7lb claimer over 1,200m. He's a speed threat. The Heir made good ground late for fifth last start over the Sha Tin 1,200m after reeling off four consecutive minor placings at the Valley. He remains one for the shortlist.

TROUBLE IN RUNNING

ARGENTO OCEAN (K322) near the 400M shifted in slightly and was bumped on the hindquarters - Race 611.

MEOWTH (J487) approaching the 500M was steadied - Race 652.

EVERSTAR (K264) shortly after the start made contact with a runner. From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages - Race 646.

VIRTUS GLORY (L298) rider stated that his mount jumped awkwardly and lost ground at the start. He said in accordance with his instructions he then rode the horse forward but was obliged to race wide and without cover when unable to cross runners to his inside and as a result was unable to finish the race off in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 655.

FATAL BLOW (J484) near the 800M was bumped. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 611.

STARRY SHOW (L074) bumped shortly after the start. Rider stated that with blinkers being reapplied to the horse in the event the instructions were to go forward and race on pace, similar to the position it held when it barrier trialed at Conghua on 20 April 2026 - Race 648.

FALCON HUNTER (K503) lay out under pressure in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 590.

YEUX DE LIFELINE (K455) was slow to begin - Race 628.

Z PRINCE (L256) bumped at the start. Near the 900M got its head up when being steadied away from a runner - Race 617.

TRACKWORK HIGHLIGHT

Superb King worked stylishly on the Sha Tin dirt on Monday morning and has claims here.
