12 1 LUCKY BLESSING (K073) 11 M F Poon When giving ground near the 400 Metres was steadied when momentarily crowded between STERLING WONGCHOY and TSUEN WAN GLORY which shifted to the outside of PERFECTO MOMENTS to commence a forward move. M F Poon reported that in the early stages he had to make some use of his mount from his wide barrier to hold a forward position. He said when BINGO BABE improved to his outside near the 500 Metres LUCKY BLESSING came under pressure and weakened from that point. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of LUCKY BLESSING, a last start winner, was considered disappointing. Before being allowed to race again, LUCKY BLESSING will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
11 2 REWARDING TWINKLE (J368) 6 K C Leung Jumped only fairly. K C Leung reported that whilst the horse was down in class tonight it may not have appreciated carrying the top weight of 135 lbs. He said, in his view, REWARDING TWINKLE may be better suited by being dropped back in distance for its next race start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
2 3 STERLING WONGCHOY (H273) 3 H Bowman Bumped at the start. Raced keenly in the early stages. Sent for sampling post-race.

5 5 SOARING BRONCO (J162) 10 M Guyon M Guyon reported that from a wide barrier he had been instructed to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages.

L Hewitson was advised in similar circumstances he should exercise more care.

1 1 FIVEFORTWO (K381) 4 L Ferraris Near the 300 Metres was shifted to the outside of KOLACHI to obtain clear running and made contact with YOUNG BRILLIANT. When questioned regarding the improved performance Trainer K W Lui stated that the horse was advantaged by being dropped back in grade and also the addition of a tongue tie. He said whilst the horse’s track work had not been impressive he was satisfied with its most recent barrier trial on 13 November 2025. He added that, in his opinion, the most significant reason for the improved performance was the horse racing at Happy Valley for the first time tonight. Sent for sampling post-race.
7 2 THE AZURE (J227) 12 J McDonald Jumped only fairly. From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
2 3 SUNDAY'S SERENADE (J231) 6 M Barzalona Bumped at the start. Leaving the 250 Metres was steadied and shifted to the outside of KOLACHI to continue into clear running. Sent for sampling post-race.

12 6 YOUNG BRILLIANT (H135) 9 C Lemaire Bumped near the 300 Metres. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. As this was the second occasion that YOUNG BRILLIANT had bled, the horse is permanently barred from any further racing.
9 7 BULL ATTITUDE (K305) 10 Z Purton Z Purton stated that his mount was able to obtain a position outside the lead as instructed. He added that in the Home Straight BULL ATTITUDE failed to respond to his riding and was disappointing. Trainer M Newnham stated that whilst he had requested the horse to be ridden in a forward position, in hindsight it may not have been suited by being ridden in this manner, particularly as it had disappointed previously on 21 September 2025 when ridden in a similar position. He added that at its next race start he would endeavour to instruct the jockey to ride the horse with cover. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
10 8 KOLACHI (J395) 11 D Probert When commencing to give ground near the 150 Metres was eased when racing tight between SUNDAY’S SERENADE and STORMI.

2 8 BEAUTY THUNDER (J299) 8 Z Purton Shifted out shortly after the start and was bumped. Bumped near the 250 Metres. Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards gave consideration if there were grounds for a protest/objection against BUNTA BABY being declared the winner due to BEAUTY THUNDER and BUNTA BABY making contact approaching the winning post. Having regard to the manner in which BUNTA BABY finished the race off and that the contact was due to both runners shifting ground although BUNTA BABY had shifted further, they were satisfied that there were not sufficient grounds to lodge a protest/objection and accordingly declared weighed-in on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. Sent for sampling post-race.
4 9 STAR PERFORMER (K207) 3 H Doyle No report.
8 10 WINNING CHAMPION (K429) 6 R Moore Jumped only fairly. When questioned R Moore stated that in the early stages when positioned to the outside of BUNTA BABY he was obliged to shift in behind that runner when placed in restricted room. He said throughout the event his mount hung in which he attributed to the horse still being relatively inexperienced. He added that throughout the middle stages he was obliged to urge his mount to maintain its position at the rear of the field and upon entering the Home Straight he then commenced to shift the horse out to secure clear running. He said in the Home Straight his efforts to do so were hindered by the horse hanging in and as a result approaching the 100 Metres, when WINNING CHAMPION was commencing to finish the race off, he was obliged to reduce his vigour for a short distance to ensure that he was able to shift to the outside of CAP LINER which was giving ground. He further stated that once he obtained clear running WINNING CHAMPION finished the race off well under hands and heels riding. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
