Recap by phillip woo

Favourite O'Socoole settled one off the fence with cover behind midfield, angled into the open with three wider out at the 300m and closed off steadily to grab victory 30m out and continue the solid David Hall/Joao Moreira association. Be There Ahead eased back to travel four deep at the back of the field at the 900m, swung the final bend widest out and finished nicely to snatch second on the wire. Planet Giant tracked the leader Jet Set Dragon and just wore that one down for a placing with a drop in class. Jet Set Dragon led at sedate fractions after finding the front approaching the 1,100m, cornered a length on top and grudgingly gave way in an improved run with a drop in class. Eagle King was still among the back markers entering the straight after a sluggish break but closed off nicely five deep. Ray Of Gold travelled four deep without cover, straightened with two wider out and ran on steadily without menacing.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (280)-WONG YI CHAU HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1200Metres

DANEWIN TIGER and NATURAL EIGHT bumped on jumping.

BE THERE AHEAD shifted out at the start, resulting in INTELLECTUAL GLIDE being hampered.

RAY OF GOLD began only fairly.

From the outside barrier, EAGLE KING was steadied on jumping and then shifted across behind runners.

DANEWIN TIGER lost its left front plate after the 1100 Metres.

Approaching and passing the 900 Metres, NATURAL EIGHT proved difficult to settle and at the 900 Metres became unbalanced after bumping with RAY OF GOLD.

Passing the 800 Metres, HEARTLAND was awkwardly placed close to the heels of PLANET GIANT.

SPURS ON, which was following HEARTLAND, shifted out away from the heels of that horse in consequence, resulting in RAY OF GOLD being hampered and taken wider near the 700 Metres.

For some distance approaching and passing the 700 Metres, NATURAL EIGHT was awkwardly placed behind O'SOCOOLE when continuing to travel keenly.

NATURAL EIGHT then continued to race fiercely and after the 600 Metres was checked away from the heels of O'SOCOOLE.

In the early part of the Straight, INTELLECTUAL GLIDE raced close to the heels of O'SOCOOLE and passing the 400 Metres was shifted to the inside of O'SOCOOLE after being disappointed for running outside that horse.

Passing the 150 Metres, HEARTLAND was awkwardly placed inside the heels of THUNDERSTROKE which shifted in when giving ground.

Over the final 100 Metres, INTELLECTUAL GLIDE raced tight inside RAY OF GOLD which got its head on the side and lay in under pressure.

JADE PIPPO was unable to obtain clear running until after the 100 Metres and consequently was not able to be properly tested.

In the Straight, DANEWIN TIGER was not able to secure clear running and consequently was not able to be fully tested.

Throughout the race, THUNDERSTROKE and BE THERE AHEAD travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of NATURAL EIGHT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

O'SOCOOLE and BE THERE AHEAD were sent for sampling.
