Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Midnight Rattler enjoyed a lovely run one off the fence in fourth, rounded the final bend four deep and got up by a lip for an overdue win after three straight seconds. Tonyboy settled one off in second behind the rank outsider Globe Trotter, advanced to the front 350m out and was unlucky not to get the bob in. Ruby Coast travelled fourth from the rear, switched into the open with two wider out at the 350m and finished nicely to add further value to the tierce. Great Charm kept on all right four deep following a handy run along the fence. Super Leader finished well after working into the open with two wider out at the 300m following a patient ride second from the rear despite a rise in trip. Magnetism finished nicely near the inside after travelling third from the rear. Healthy Joyful made a steady bid six deep without menacing after travelling three deep with cover beyond midfield. Otouto gave way 100m out following a box-seat run. Run Forrest settled one off the fence in midfield, straightened four deep and only held his ground under the whip.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (406)-ROSE HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Metres

WAH MAY FRIEND was withdrawn on 12.2.16 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (inappetence) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter LUCKY SCEPTER (B Prebble).

Before being allowed to race again, WAH MAY FRIEND will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

MAGNETISM began only fairly.

LUCKY SCEPTER shifted out at the start and bumped SOUL ACHIEVER.

After this, SOUL ACHIEVER was shifted across behind runners.

Shortly after the start, RUN FORREST (S de Sousa) raced tight between OTOUTO and GREAT CHARM.

When racing tight, RUN FORREST turned its head to the left and attempted to savage OTOUTO.

When this occurred, the rider of OTOUTO shifted that horse away from RUN FORREST, resulting in RUBY COAST being crowded for room.

Also in this incident, RUN FORREST stumbled and lost ground.

S de Sousa stated that after this, RUN FORREST did not travel well at any stage and did not appear to concentrate during the race.

He said he noted the horse is still a colt and that could have had some bearing on the horse's racing attitude today.

Mr C S Shum, the trainer of RUN FORREST, was advised that a warning would be placed on the racing manners of RUN FORREST.

Mr Shum advised that he would recommend to the owner that RUN FORREST be gelded following today's race.

A veterinary inspection of RUN FORREST immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

In the early stages, SUPER LEADER was steadied and shifted across behind runners.

Passing the 1300 Metres, RUBY COAST was crowded for room between RUN FORREST and WINNING STAR, both of which shifted ground.

After initially being steadied in order to be shifted across behind runners, LUCKY SCEPTER was left racing wide and without cover after the 1200 Metres and was then allowed to improve its position, however, continued to race wide and without cover.

Approaching the 1000 Metres, RUBY COAST was momentarily crowded for room inside MAGNETISM which shifted in away from HEALTHY JOYFUL.

Approaching and passing the 1000 Metres, FLYING MACHINE proved difficult to settle and got its head up on a number of occasions when awkwardly placed close to the heels of HEALTHY JOYFUL.

GREAT CHARM was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight.

Approaching the 250 Metres, MAGNETISM momentarily raced in restricted room inside OTOUTO.

SUPER LEADER was awkwardly placed close to the heels of RUBY COAST in the early part of the Straight.

Over the concluding stages, TONYBOY and MIDNIGHT RATTLER raced tight.

Whilst the Stewards were satisfied that the riding of G Schofield (OTOUTO), 8th placegetter, over the concluding stages did not affect the horse's finishing position, he was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out at least hands and heels all the way to the end of the race where circumstances permit.

A veterinary inspection of LUCKY SCEPTER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

MIDNIGHT RATTLER and TONYBOY were sent for sampling.
