Recap by phillip woo

Rank outsider Happy Friendship came with a bold ducking-and-weaving run from last to collar Mizzen Grey 10m out for the win after failing to come close in nine prior runs. He relished the rain-affected going. Mizzen Grey was prominent along the rails, rushed to the front 200m out and kept on gamely for second. Plunged late, Bornfree settled third along the inside after leading until the 1,350m, cornered five deep and stayed on reasonably well to just grab third in a three-horse photo. Zero Energy Act travelled midfield along the rails, straightened three deep and ran on steadily to make it close for a placing. Commandant was caught deep without cover in midfield until the 800m, rounded the final bend with two wider out and kept grinding away. Both Mighty Wongchoy and Gold Tartini made some ground from near the back. Loyal Craftsman was only plodding widest out. Favourite Cruise Control didn't handle the going and only made a mild bid from behind midfield.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (075)-CUCKOO HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1650Metres

ZERO ENERGY ACT began awkwardly and lost ground.

LOYAL CRAFTSMAN began awkwardly.

MIGHTY WONGCHOY was crowded for room on jumping between HEARTILY WINS and GOLD TARTINI which shifted in.

After this, MIGHTY WONGCHOY, from a wide barrier, was shifted across behind runners.

Also from the outside barrier, HAPPY FRIENDSHIP was shifted across behind runners shortly after the start.

Shortly after the start, COMMANDANT and LUCKY BOLE bumped and became unbalanced due to both horses shifting ground.

Despite being ridden along in the early stages, CRUISE CONTROL failed to muster speed.

Passing the 300 Metres, MIGHTY WONGCHOY was shifted out away from the heels of RED ADVENTURE which was giving ground.

In the Straight, HAPPY FRIENDSHIP raced greenly and near the 200 Metres got its head up when being shifted out abruptly away from the heels of the tiring LUCKY BOLE.

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP again got its head up when shifting to the outside of MIZZEN GREY near the 100 Metres.

Near the 100 Metres, ZERO ENERGY ACT became unbalanced.

BLISS CARTEL lost its right front plate after the race.

The performance of TRIPLE KING, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.

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

A veterinary inspection of CRUISE CONTROL and LUCKY BOLE immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the trachea of both horses.

Before being allowed to race again, CRUISE CONTROL and LUCKY BOLE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

CRUISE CONTROL, HAPPY FRIENDSHIP and MIZZEN GREY were sent for sampling.
