Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Super Talent had cover deep beyond midfield, rounded the final bend six deep and finished willingly to get up in the final few metres for the win. Punted late to nearly jump favourite, Dashing Fellow travelled effectively one-out, one-back, rolled forward to nearly draw level for the front with Sichuan Exec at the 100m and eventually wore that one down for second. Sichuan Exec grudgingly gave way after assuming the front 300m out from Amber Dragon. He can certainly get away with a race at this level. Divine Diya settled midfield along the rails, cornered four deep and had to take hold 50m out when making some progress late. King Of Mongolia travelled ahead of midfield and three deep without cover, rounded the final bend five deep and came up one-paced over the final 150m. Metallic Star made some ground from beyond midfield without menacing. Good Treasure closed off all right down the outside after travelling second from the rear after missing the kick. Amber Dragon weakened 150m out after dictating the run.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight:(466)-COLLECTION HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Metres

GOOD TREASURE bounded in the air as the start was effected and made heavy contact with the inside of its gate, resulting in the horse losing ground and B Prebble, its rider, becoming unbalanced.

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

BERLINI began awkwardly and shortly after the start was shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier.

From the outside barrier, MR GINGER was taken across behind runners in the early stages.

Near the 1150 Metres, BRAVE BROTHER got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of STRATHEARN (K C Leung) which shifted in when not properly clear.

K C Leung was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in future.

Approaching the 1000 Metres, DIVINE DIYA was awkwardly placed close to the heels of STRATHEARN.

At the 800 Metres, BRAVE BROTHER was crowded for room between DIVINE DIYA and KING OF MONGOLIA which shifted in marginally before being directed back out by its rider.

Near the 500 Metres, MR GINGER was checked away from the heels of GOOD TREASURE when taken out by BERLINI which, when improving into tight running between MR GINGER and MIDNITE PROMISE, was then taken out further by MIDNITE PROMISE which shifted to the outside of CASA MASTER.

Close to the finishing line, DIVINE DIYA shifted out abruptly away from the heels of DASHING FELLOW.

KING OF MONGOLIA, which was racing to the outside of DIVINE DIYA, was shifted away from the heels of that horse in consequence and consequently was not able to be ridden out to the end of the race.

SUPER TALENT and DASHING FELLOW were sent for sampling.
