Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite All The Best was patiently ridden second from the rear along the fence, stayed to the inside upon straightening and finished willingly to run down outsider Hella Hedge by a flaring nostril for a first win at his 10th outing. Hella Hedge went forward from a wide gate to sit second behind the late-fancied leader Gentilis, assumed the front 200m out and kept on gamely to just miss. Rainbow Fighter settled midfield and one off the rails, swung the final bend with three wider out and finished well for a placing. Modern Tsar made his run behind midfield along the fence, shifted off heels for a clear run with three wider out at the 200m and finished nicely thereafter to secure a Quartet spot in a much-improved effort. Clever Beaver travelled effectively one-out, one-back, straightened four deep and only held his ground over the final 150m. Gentilis cornered a length on top after dictating the run and was on his tippy toes 150m out. Eye On You made his run outside All The Best third from the rear, pushed widest out coming to the final bend and made some ground without menacing. Flying Tourbillon straightened three from the right and made some progress.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight: (512)-BETTERMENT HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

Shortly after the start, ARGENTUM was crowded for room between CLEVER BEAVER and MODERN TSAR which shifted out.

ALL THE BEST and EYE ON YOU were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Passing the 1000 Metres, ORIENTAL PROSPER was steadied away from the heels of LONGWAH AMBER which was awkwardly placed inside the heels of HELLA HEDGE (C Y Ho).

C Y Ho was advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in similar circumstances.

After the 700 Metres, RAINBOW FIGHTER commenced to travel keenly and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of CLEVER BEAVER.

Making the turn after the 600 Metres, GENTILIS became unbalanced.

Approaching the 400 Metres, CLEVER BEAVER and LONGWAH AMBER bumped due to CLEVER BEAVER attempting to shift out into clear running.

RAINBOW FIGHTER, which was following, was inconvenienced in consequence.

Passing the 400 Metres, ALL THE BEST brushed the running rail and became unbalanced.

Rounding the Home Turn, HELLA HEDGE raced tight outside GENTILIS which got its head on the side and lay out.

Approaching the 100 Metres, FLYING TOURBILLON and ORIENTAL PROSPER raced tight.

Right on the finishing line, ALL THE BEST and HELLA HEDGE raced tight due to HELLA HEDGE shifting in under pressure.

Throughout the race, LONGWAH AMBER travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground.

A veterinary inspection of LONGWAH AMBER immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm.

Before being allowed to race again, LONGWAH AMBER will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

ALL THE BEST and HELLA HEDGE were sent for sampling.
