Recap by phillip woo

Excel Oneself flew the start to lead one off the fence from Longwah Amber, established a two-length margin rounding the final bend and kept finding to hold Peace N Prosperity and land a betting move. Peace N Prosperity went forward from a wide gate to land a one-off spot in third, straightened one off and kept on well for second. The weight swing was the difference in the end. The Show was posted deep without cove r behind midfield after getting hampered at the start, straightened with three wider out and finished well to grab a placing 30m out. It was a huge run in defeat and he'll be winning more races this term. Imperial Rome had his chance following a handy run one off the fence. Early favourite King Of Mongolia got shuffled back to travel beyond midfield, shifted into the clear with three wider out at the 200m and finished up reasonably well. Sugar City rallied well after travelling second from the rear over an unsuitable trip. Royal Partner ran on without menacing two from the right.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight: (018)-DEEP WATER BAY HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

GREAT RUN shifted out abruptly at the start, resulting in THE SHOW and ROYAL PARTNER being badly hampered and causing ROYAL PARTNER to be taken out onto PAKISTAN BABY which was also hampered.

In this incident, GREAT RUN became badly unbalanced.

THE SHOW lost its left front plate at the start.

Shortly after the start, KING DERBY raced tight between KING OF MONGOLIA and LONGWAH AMBER, both of which shifted marginal ground.

From a wide barrier, SUGAR CITY was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

For some distance in the middle stages, GREAT RUN proved difficult to settle and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of KING OF MONGOLIA.

Approaching the 700 Metres, PAKISTAN BABY shifted out abruptly away from the heels of GREAT RUN which continued to race keenly.

Making the turn after the 600 Metres, LONGWAH AMBER got its head up when momentarily racing tight inside EXCEL ONESELF.

At the 200 Metres, SUGAR CITY was shifted to the inside of the heels of KING OF MONGOLIA after being disappointed for running between that horse which shifted out and PAKISTAN BABY.

Approaching the 100 Metres, PAKISTAN BABY was steadied when awkwardly placed outside the heels of KING OF MONGOLIA which shifted out marginally away from THE SHOW.

Throughout the race, THE SHOW travelled wide and without cover.

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

ROYAL PARTNER, EXCEL ONESELF and PEACE N PROSPERITY were sent for sampling.
