Recap by phillip woo

Lovely Delovely easily found the front from a middle gate, cornered a length on top from Speedygonzalez and kept finding to hold Teofilo Calva over the last 150m for the win despite a rise in grade and trip. The huge weight swing was the difference in the end. Teofilo Calva settled one off the rails in midfield from a wide gate, swung the final bend five deep and rallied nicely only to come up flat over the final 50m carrying a big weight. Exciting Dream settled three back along the fence, shifted one off at the 200m and kept plugging away to make it close. Bear Hero came on from last and widest out to finish a distant fourth. Lord Sinclair made some ground without menacing with three wider out after traveling fifth from the back . Lang Tai Sing was rather one-paced when popped the question following a rail's run behind Exciting Dream. Key Witness never obtained cover in a three-deep position behind midfield from an outside gate, swung the final bend with one wider out and came up one-paced over the final 200m. Golden Deer was ridden quietly one from the back but was never fully tested when held up until the 100m. Supreme Falcon faded 200m out after enjoying a one-out run.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (485)-AZALEA HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1200Metres

As the start was effected, GO BABY GO lifted its front feet off the ground and then despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to muster speed.

From a wide barrier, BEAR HERO was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Near the 950 Metres, LANG TAI SING momentarily raced tight inside EXCITING DREAM which was taken in by SUPREME FALCON before that horse was directed back out to relieve the tightening.

When SUPREME FALCON was directed out, TEOFILO CALVA was awkwardly placed outside the heels of that horse and taken wider.

KEY WITNESS, which was following TEOFILO CALVA, was steadied away from the heels of that horse in consequence and shifted out.

After the 800 Metres, KEY WITNESS was then left racing wide and without cover.

After the 400 Metres, EXCITING DREAM raced tight inside COSMIC BOOM after being bumped by that horse which improved into tight running inside SPEEDYGONZALEZ.

Passing the 300 Metres, COSMIC BOOM was eased away from the heels of EXCITING DREAM which shifted out into clear running.

Near the 150 Metres, LANG TAI SING was bumped by LORD SINCLAIR which, after initially being taken in slightly by KEY WITNESS, then shifted in further away from that horse.

In this incident, KEY WITNESS became unbalanced after being directed out to relieve the pressure to LORD SINCLAIR.

GOLDEN DEER was badly held up for clear running from prior to the 200 Metres until passing the 150 Metres.

Close to the finishing line, KEY WITNESS was steadied away from the heels of BEAR HERO and consequently was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race.

A veterinary inspection of KEY WITNESS and SUPREME FALCON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

LOVELY DELOVELY and TEOFILO CALVA were sent for sampling.
