Recap by phillip woo

Well-punted late, London City cleared to the rail for a lead at the 1,000m from a tricky gate, established a four-length advantage rounding the final bend and kept up a good gallop for a maiden win at his eighth start despite solid early fractions. He was clearly suited by a drop in class. Goldweaver stalked the leader near the rails and kept on well for a Quinella spot. Outsider Bliss Cartel came through late near the inside after saving ground behind midfield to secure a placing in a career performance. Genuine Champion was plodding over the final 150m following prominent run along the fence. He had no excuse. Favourite Double Point travelled fourth from the rear and only ran on without menacing when pulling five deep off the fence approaching the 300m. Rugby Ambassador only held his ground over the final 200m.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (150)-MARIA GALLAND HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1400Metres

GRASSLAND DRAGON, Standby Declared Starter, was withdrawn on 7.11.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (left fore suspensory injury).

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

ENCHANTING DIAMOND, which was fractious in the Parade Ring, made heavy contact with a rail after leaving the Parade Ring but prior to entering the track.

On arrival at the Start, ENCHANTING DIAMOND was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was lame in the left front leg and as such was not suitable to race.

Acting on this advice, ENCHANTING DIAMOND was withdrawn by order of the Stewards.

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

GREAT SPEED, INTELLECTUAL GLIDE and BLISS CARTEL were all slow to begin.

From wide barriers, MY CUP OVERFLOWS and WIRE TO WIRE were shifted across behind runners shortly after the start.

Despite being ridden along in the early stages, GOLD PRECIOUS failed to muster speed.

DOUBLE POINT was ridden along for some distance in the early stages in an endeavour to maintain its position.

After the 1100 Metres, INTELLECTUAL GLIDE got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of GENUINE CHAMPION.

After the 800 Metres, MY CUP OVERFLOWS got its head on the side and lay out.

Near the 250 Metres, BLISS CARTEL was shifted to the inside of GENUINE CHAMPION to obtain clear running after being disappointed for a run outside that horse which shifted out under pressure.

After the 200 Metres, DOUBLE POINT was awkwardly placed close to the heels of RUGBY AMBASSADOR when shifting out from behind that horse to obtain clear running.

Throughout the race, MEDIC SWORDSMAN travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of RUGBY AMBASSADOR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

DOUBLE POINT, LONDON CITY and GOLDWEAVER were sent for sampling.
