Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Packing Pins settled midfield and one off the rails, was strung up until barging his way out five deep at the 250m and quickened nicely to take control 120m out for an overdue second win from five outings. Charity Kingdom settled behind midfield and two off the rails with cover, turned the final bend with two further out and let down well to just grab second 50m out. He won't be far off another winning run. Secret Weapon settled fifth from the back and one off the rails, had only one wider out upon straightening and let down willing to get up level for third with Cheeky Too, who closed off well in the middle of the track from beyond midfield. Big Four bided his time second from the rear and got going when the race was all but over nearly six deep. Jaeger Bomb was another getting going late from near the back without menacing with three wider out. Masquerader kept on one-paced.

Racing Incident Report

Race Ten: (486)-FREESIA HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Metres

CHEEKY TOO and SECRET WEAPON were crowded for room on jumping between WAH MAY BABY and CHARITY KINGDOM.

ARCHIPPUS shifted out at the start, resulting in LANSBURY being crowded for room inside JAEGER BOMB.

From wide barriers, BIG FOUR and JAEGER BOMB were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Making the first turn near the 900 Metres, BIG FOUR got its head up on a number of occasions when awkwardly placed close to the heels of LANSBURY.

At the entrance to the Straight, JAEGER BOMB was held up for clear running behind CHARITY KINGDOM.

PACKING PINS was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight.

When improving into tight running between ARCHIPPUS and WAH MAY BABY near the 300 Metres, PACKING PINS was taken out by WAH MAY BABY, resulting in PACKING PINS bumping the hindquarters of ARCHIPPUS which became unbalanced.

PACKING PINS (J Moreira) then got its head on the side and shifted out further, resulting in ARCHIPPUS, which was commencing to give ground, being steadied when crowded for room inside PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT.

J Moreira was advised that whilst the shift out from WAH MAY BABY had played a significant role in this incident, nonetheless he must ensure that he makes every endeavour to prevent his mounts from shifting further ground wherever circumstances permit.

Approaching the 200 Metres, BIG FOUR shifted out and was steadied away from the heels of CHEEKY TOO.

Passing the 200 Metres, MASQUERADER raced tight inside SUPREME FLIGHT when improving into restricted room inside that horse.

Throughout the race, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT travelled wide and without cover.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of ARCHIPPUS, K C Leung stated that the tempo of the race in the early stages was quicker than that at its last start when the horse was successful.

He said after the 700 Metres ARCHIPPUS was taken into a three wide position without cover by WAH MAY BABY which shifted out.

He said ARCHIPPUS came under pressure in the early part of the Straight and despite being hampered near the 250 Metres was most disappointing in the manner in which it failed to finish off the race.

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

The performance of ARCHIPPUS, which was successful at its most recent start, was considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, ARCHIPPUS will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

A veterinary inspection of SHINING CHAMPION, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT and WAH MAY BABY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
