16/09/2020  Happy Valley  Race 2

JOLLY GOOD HEART began only fairly and then was steadied away from the heels of SHAMPORT which shifted out shortly after the start. MASTER ALBERT shifted out at the start and bumped PEACH BLOSSOMS. Then from the outside barrier, PEACH BLOSSOMS was shifted across behind runners. Shortly after the start, THE RUNNER and FLYING ON THE TURF bumped. Despite being ridden along for some distance in the early stages, LE TERROIR failed to muster speed. After being ridden along in the initial stages, MASTER ALBERT was shifted in behind runners after the 1100 Metres, however, was left racing wide and without cover from the 900 Metres. For some distance after the 900 Metres, JOLLY GOOD HEART got its head up when proving very difficult to settle. Passing the 500 Metres, LE TERROIR momentarily raced in restricted room between JOLLY GOOD HEART which shifted out when awkwardly placed close to the heels of PRINCE OF BON BON and MASTER ALBERT which lay in towards the heels of THE RUNNER. After the 500 Metres, PRINCE OF BON BON momentarily became unbalanced. After the race, M F Poon reported that PEACH BLOSSOMS, which was having its first race start in Hong Kong tonight, raced greenly and was inclined to hang in and approaching the 900 Metres became unbalanced after shifting in and brushing the running rail. PEACH BLOSSOMS then shifted in abruptly after passing the 300 Metres and again became unbalanced of its own accord. LE TERROIR, SHAMPORT and MIG ENERGY were sent for sampling.
