Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Star Majestic settled fourth and one off the rails when Rock The Tree rolled forward to lead 1,100m out, swung the final bend four deep and quickened well to take control 250m out for a second straight win despite a rise in class. Trendy Win cornered five deep after travelling behind midfield along the rails and finished well to get up a clear second in a much-improved second-up run. Specked late, Sugar City was ridden cold from a wide gate, cornered four deep and finished willingly to snatch third close to home. Real Generous kept on next best after stalking the speed. Rock The Tree had to work for the lead at the 1,100m, cornered a half-length on top and lost a placing 100m out. Beauty Lead kept on evenly after straightening with three wider out following a travelling fifth run along the rails. Griffindor made some ground three-to-four deep after travelling second from the rear. First Sight Love only passed beaten rivals after making his run third from the back. Step High enjoyed a box-seat run and was another that failed to lift on the card after having every chance along the inside upon straightening.

Racing Incident Report

Race Six: (388)-THE ROTARY CENTENARY CHALLENGE CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 3 - 1650Metres

As the start was effected, STAR MAJESTIC lifted its front feet off the ground and began awkwardly.

Shortly after the start, STAR MAJESTIC and TRENDY WIN bumped.

After this, TRENDY WIN was ridden along, however, failed to muster speed.

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

Passing the winning post on the first occasion, STAR MAJESTIC shifted in when awkwardly placed close to the heels of REAL GENEROUS, resulting in BEAUTY LEAD being momentarily crowded for room.

After passing the winning post on the first occasion, ROCK THE TREE was left racing wide and after the 1300 Metres was allowed to stride forward into the lead.

Making the turn after the 600 Metres, FIRST SIGHT LOVE was crowded for room between HO IN ONE and TRENDY WIN which got its head on the side and shifted out marginally.

In the Straight, FIRST SIGHT LOVE got its head on the side and lay out under pressure and over the concluding stages was awkwardly placed inside the heels of BEAUTY LEAD.

Throughout the race, HO IN ONE travelled wide and without cover.

When questioned, M Chadwick stated that he had been asked to take up a forward position on GRIFFINDOR if possible.

He said after the blindfold was removed from GRIFFINDOR, the horse immediately became fractious and lunged at the front gates prior to the start being effected.

He said then when the gates were released GRIFFINDOR began only fairly.

He said he did consider riding GRIFFINDOR along, however, as there were a number of horses already in front of GRIFFINDOR which were taking up forward positions, he felt that he would have had to either make too much use of the horse to go forward as instructed or in the alternative it may be left racing very wide, therefore he made the decision to shift GRIFFINDOR across behind runners in the early stages and obtain cover.

A veterinary inspection of STEP HIGH immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

STAR MAJESTIC and TRENDY WIN were sent for sampling.
