10 3 SUPER SICARIO (K306) 2 D Probert Near the 600 Metres was shifted to the outside of WAH MAY WAI WAI to commence a forward move and as a result made contact with STORM RUNNER. Bumped near the 450 Metres. D Probert reported that throughout the early and middle stages of the event his mount raced too keenly and refused to settle. He said as a consequence SUPER SICARIO failed to run out the 2200 Metres of tonight’s event. Trainer C Fownes concurred with the views of Jockey Probert and indicated that he would look to drop the horse back in distance for its next race start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
1 4 STAR BROSE (J463) 4 H Bowman Jumped only fairly, shifted in and made contact with GOLDEN FAIRY. Sent for sampling post-race.

Approaching the 1600 Metres, when racing keenly, shifted out when being steadied away from SUPER HONG KONG. Raced wide and without cover from the 900 Metres after commencing a forward move from that point. Trainer Y S Tsui confirmed that he had instructed Jockey J Orman to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages from the outside barrier as the horse had been racing in a disappointing manner when being ridden in a forward position. He added that he had given Jockey Orman the option of making a mid-race move if circumstances permitted. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
6 10 SUPER HONG KONG (D241) 10 K Teetan Jumped awkwardly and then made contact with WAH MAY WAI WAI which shifted out slightly.

He said in the early stages CAMP FIRE raced keenly and refused to settle and near the 800 Metres got its head up when being checked away from GLORIOUS EXPERT.

8 11 GLORIOUS EXPERT (J028) 7 H Bentley Briefly held up on the Home Turn.
1 12 MACANESE MASTER (J532) 2 Y L Chung (-2) When questioned regarding the improved performance Trainer Y S Tsui stated that the horse was advantaged tonight by drawing an inside barrier as compared to its previous four race starts where it was drawn barrier 12. He said after the horse’s last run on 2 November 2025 where it was obliged to race wide and without cover he gave the horse a short let-up and this, in his opinion, also contributed to its improved performance tonight. Sent for sampling post-race.
WV HANDSOME BLOND (K241) --- HANDSOME BLOND, Standby Declared Starter, was withdrawn on 16.12.25 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right hind). Before being allowed to race again, HANDSOME BLOND will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
