Racing Incident Report
Race Five: (217)-HANKOW HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Metres
IMPERIAL CONCORDE was crowded for room on jumping between HOLY MAC and GLORIOUS AVENUE which was taken out by PRINCE OF SUNSHINE.HAPPY MOMENTS, which was fractious in the barriers, was slow to begin.
From a wide barrier, YOUNG TALENT was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Passing the 1400 Metres, WIN ALONG was steadied away from the heels of JOLLY GOOD STAR.
JUST ACE travelled wide and without cover until near the 1000 Metres.
Near the 700 Metres, SKIP COURT was awkwardly placed close to the heels of REALLY THE BEST.
After the 600 Metres, SKIP COURT was again awkwardly placed behind REALLY THE BEST which was racing close to the heels of JUST ACE for some distance as that horse was giving ground.
Approaching the 500 Metres, IMPERIAL CONCORDE was checked away from the heels of SKIP COURT and shifted to the outside of that horse.

Recap by phillip woo
Relishing a return to the dirt, Axiom made his run second from the rear, shifted out behind runners five deep at the 200m and finished willingly to grab victory in the shadows of the post in three-horse photo. Favourite Imperial Concorde was checked back to last entering the straight with one wider out and finished strongly to make it tight on the wire. Happy Moments settled worse than midfield along the rails, peeled four deep at the 300m and ran on nicely to finish unfortunately on the bottom of blanket finish in an improved effort with a switch to the dirt. Mega Champion set a muddling pace, cornered a length on top and was swamped in the final 50m. Jolly Good Star was handy in the run without cover, straightened three deep and plugged on reasonably well despite the hard run. Prince Of Sunshine ran on steadily.
