Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Spicy Sure straightened three deep following a handy run along the paint, advanced to the front 250m out and kept on gamely for a second win from seven runs. Invincible Fresh rallied well five deep following a one-off run in midfield to grab second 150m out. Presidentparamount made good ground five deep to land a placing 60m out after making his run beyond midfield after a tardy break. Pakistan Baby ran on steadily with two wider out following a one-off run behind midfield to snare a Quartet spot close to home. Liuzhou Warrior produced a much-improved run when closing nicely fourth deep in the drive after travelling third from the rear coming to the final bend. Lucky Scepter travelled midfield along the paint, eased into the clear with three wider out at the 400m and had to steady close to home after peaking on his run 100m out. Numero Uno parked outside the leader Gentilis, assumed the lead 400m out and was giving ground 200m out. Happy Place was all dressed up with nowhere to go over the final 200m after trying to improve from near the rear of the field.

Racing Incident Report

Race Ten: (102)-LUKFOOK JEWELLERY BELOVED COLLECTION HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Metres

ROYAL SPIRIT was crowded for room on jumping between DEJA VU and FUNNY BUDDIES which shifted in.

GENTILIS began awkwardly.

HAPPY PLACE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

GLORIOUS SUN lost its left front plate in the early stages.

Approaching the 1000 Metres, SPICY SURE was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of GLORIOUS SUN (C K Tong) which shifted in when not quite clear.

C K Tong was advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in future.

Approaching the 900 Metres, NUMERO UNO (N Rawiller) shifted in and bumped GENTILIS, resulting in that horse becoming unbalanced.

N Rawiller was advised to exercise more care when shifting ground.

Making the turn near the 900 Metres, FUNNY BUDDIES got its head up when awkwardly placed outside the heels of MIDNIGHT RATTLER.

Making the turn near the 700 Metres, HAPPY PLACE got its head on the side and lay out when awkwardly placed close to the heels of FUNNY BUDDIES.

For some distance after the 300 Metres, LUCKY SCEPTER and PAKISTAN BABY raced tight.

Over about the final 250 Metres, HAPPY PLACE was unable to obtain clear running and consequently was not able to be properly tested.

Approaching the 200 Metres, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT shifted out and bumped the hindquarters of LUCKY SCEPTER which became unbalanced.

Just prior to and passing the winning post, LUCKY SCEPTER, which was racing tight inside PAKISTAN BABY, was crowded for room outside PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT (K Teetan) which shifted out.

K Teetan was reprimanded.

In the Straight, FUNNY BUDDIES got its head on the side and lay in under pressure.

When questioned, K Teetan stated that it had been intended for PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT to be ridden in a position in front of midfield if possible from barrier

4.

He said just prior to the start being effected PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT turned its head to the left and then as the start was effected lifted its front feet off the ground and consequently was slow to begin.

He said when PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT was slow to begin, DEJA VU, which was drawn to the outside of PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT, shifted in and because of this he was then unable to immediately improve its position.

He said he rode his mount along in the early stages to make up lost ground, however, due to the positioning of other runners, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT was required to race towards the rear of the field and much further back than had been intended.

A veterinary inspection of NUMERO UNO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

SPICY SURE and INVINCIBLE FRESH were sent for sampling.
