Recap by phillip woo

Double Dragon handed up the lead to Goldweaver 1,150m after jumping nicely, came two off soon after straightening, hit the front passing the 200m and kept on gamely for the win with a drop in grade as the favourite. Plain Blue Banner settled behind midfield and three deep with cover from a wide gate, rounded the final bend with two wider out and finished up nicely to snatch second in a blanket finish for the minors. Fancied late, Goldweaver dictated a good pace after finding the front, cornered nearly two lengths on top and lost second on the line. Supreme Profit was nailed to the rails three back after recovering after a tardy break, stayed to the paint upon straightening and kept grinding away to miss a placing by a whisker. He too was suited by a drop in class and may prefer a longer trip. The Only Kid was taken back to settle third to fourth from the rear and two off the rails with cover, pushed into the open with one wider out upon straightening and was doing his best work late without menacing.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (001)-TIM WA HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1400Metres

When about to enter the track, SHANTARAAM became fractious, reared on two occasions and then threw itself down.

SHANTARAAM was examined by Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was unsuitable to race.

Accordingly, SHANTARAAM was withdrawn by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice.

Before being allowed to race again, SHANTARAAM will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

In this incident, O Doleuze was dislodged from SHANTARAAM.

O Doleuze was subsequently examined by the Club's medical officers and cleared to fulfil his remaining race riding engagements.

SUPREME PROFIT began only fairly.

Approaching the 1300 Metres, TAI PO FORTUNE blundered when being shifted in behind AMAZING GIFT.

TAI PO FORTUNE then got its head up when racing keenly passing the 1000 Metres.

Near the 800 Metres, COOL PAL was left racing wide and without cover.

Passing the 300 Metres, SUPREME PROFIT lay in and proved reluctant to shift to the outside of DOUBLE DRAGON.

SUPREME PROFIT continued to hang in under pressure and over the concluding stages raced tight outside GOLDWEAVER.

Because of this, SUPREME PROFIT was not able to be properly tested over the concluding stages.

DOUBLE DRAGON and PLAIN BLUE BANNER were sent for sampling.
