Recap by phillip woo

Happy Surveys settled second from the rear after jumping sluggishly, swung the final bend with one wider out and finished willingly to get up in the final few strides for an impressive debut win. He remains one to follow. King's Steed settled one off in second, rallied four deep and kept plugging away to just grab second in a photo finish. My Legend settled fore of midfield and one off the rails, rounded the final bend five deep and closed off nicely to make it another thriller on the wire. All Times Lucky was given a dream ride on the back of the leader Jolly Posh, straightened near three deep, worked to the front 50m out and was swamped in the shadows of the post. Early favourite Golden Chopsticks settled deep on the track third from the rear from a wide gate, swung the final bend with one wider out and ran on nicely to just finish out of a Quartet spot. Plunged late to jump favourite, Jolly Posh showed superior gate speed to easily lead, cornered a length on top and was giving ground 100m out. Peace On Earth made some ground three deep without menacing after travelling fourth from the rear. City Power disappointed following a rail's run in midfield.

Racing Incident Report

Race Five: (594)-LYREBIRD HANDICAP (Sec1) - Class 4 - 1200Metres

JOYEUX was withdrawn on 5.5.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (skin disease) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter ALL TIMES LUCKY (O Doleuze).

Before being allowed to race again, JOYEUX will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

As the start was effected, FOTOGENIC reared and lost ground.

NATURAL SENSE was slow to begin and then throughout the race was detached from the main body of the field.

Before being allowed to race again, NATURAL SENSE will be required to perform competitively in an official barrier trial.

GOLDEN GUNNERS shifted out abruptly on jumping, resulting in HAPPY SURVEYS being hampered.

HAPPY SURVEYS was then shifted across behind runners.

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

Near the 1000 Metres, FOTOGENIC was awkwardly placed close to the heels of MY LEGEND.

Near the 850 Metres, FOTOGENIC got its head on the side, shifted in abruptly towards the hindquarters of PEACE ON EARTH and consequently became unbalanced.

At the entrance to the Straight, ALL TIMES LUCKY was held up behind JOLLY POSH.

Near the 175 Metres, HAPPY SURVEYS was shifted to the outside of GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS after being disappointed for running inside that horse which shifted in under pressure.

Over the concluding stages, KING'S STEED and MY LEGEND raced tight.

Throughout the race, GOLDEN GUNNERS travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of NATURAL SENSE and CITY POWER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS, JOLLY POSH, HAPPY SURVEYS and KING'S STEED were sent for sampling.
