Recap by phillip woo

Firming late, Presidentparamount settled one off the fence in midfield, rounded the final bend six deep, hit the front 200m out and held off the late surge of outsider Glacier Blue for a maiden win at his fourth outing following a gear and riding change. Glacier Blue was patiently ridden behind midfield and one off the rails from a wide gate, swung the final bend five from the right and finished nicely to make it close on the wire. He was suited by the strong pace. Favourite Unique Happiest lost some momentum when strung up in traffic five deep underneath the the eventual winner, shifted inside for a clear run at the 250m and ran on steadily thereafter. Circuit Fortune made his run second from the rear, was short of room five deep until the 300m and finished nicely thereafter to get up for a First-4 spot. Royale Elegance settled a distant last from the widest gate, had 10 lengths to make up at the head of the straight widest out and ran on well until peaking on his run 100m out.

Racing Incident Report

Race Four: (340)-THE THREE LIONS HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1400Metres

Whilst in the saddling stalls, SOLAR KINGDOM had its left front plate refitted.

SOLAR KINGDOM was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

After being loaded, SOLAR KINGDOM became fractious, resulting in the front gates being sprung, however, SOLAR KINGDOM remained in its barrier.

The horse was then removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said, in his opinion, it was suitable to race.

Before being allowed to race again, SOLAR KINGDOM will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test.

UNICORN was slow to begin.

CIRCUIT FORTUNE lost ground when crowded for room on jumping between JOYEUX and G-ONE BO BO, both of which shifted ground.

GLACIER BLUE was momentarily crowded for room on jumping between TONES and WILD BOY, both of which shifted ground.

From the outside barrier, ROYALE ELEGANCE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Approaching the 1300 Metres, SOLAR KINGDOM momentarily raced in restricted room between CHARTER VICTORIA and TONES which shifted in.

After the 1100 Metres, SUNNY PEARL raced tight between JOYEUX and CHARTER VICTORIA which got its head on the side and was inclined to lay in away from SOLAR KINGDOM.

After the 900 Metres, CHARTER VICTORIA was left racing wide and without cover.

Rounding the Home Turn, UNIQUE HAPPIEST and PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT raced tight.

Approaching the 350 Metres, UNICORN was checked away from the heels of CHARTER VICTORIA which was giving ground.

Passing the 300 Metres, UNIQUE HAPPIEST was checked after attempting to obtain running between SUNNY PEARL and PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT where was insufficient room.

G-ONE BO BO, which was following, was steadied away from the heels of UNIQUE HAPPIEST in consequence and shifted out, resulting in CIRCUIT FORTUNE being awkwardly placed outside G-ONE BO BO.

UNIQUE HAPPIEST was then awkwardly placed close to the heels of SUNNY PEARL before shifting to the inside of that horse after the 300 Metres.

MAGICAL BEAM was held up for clear running for some distance after the 300 Metres.

Approaching the 100 Metres, G-ONE BO BO raced in restricted room between CIRCUIT FORTUNE and SUNNY PEARL which was taken out by UNIQUE HAPPIEST.

Passing the 100 Metres, UNICORN was shifted in away from the heels of ROYALE ELEGANCE after being awkwardly placed behind that horse.

Then close to the finishing line, UNICORN was awkwardly placed between CIRCUIT FORTUNE and ROYALE ELEGANCE and consequently was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race.

After the race, both T H So (SOLAR KINGDOM) and A Suborics (TONES) reported that they had to make use of their mounts in the early stages to take up a forward position from awkward barriers and because of the tempo of the race, particularly after the 1200 Metres, both SOLAR KINGDOM and TONES were then not able to finish off their respective races.

A veterinary inspection of SOLAR KINGDOM and TONES immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

UNIQUE HAPPIEST, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT and GLACIER BLUE were sent for sampling.
