Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Dancing Flames jumped a lot better on this occasion from an inside gate to eventually sit second underneath the leader Peace Combination 900m out, assumed the front 450m out and kept on gamely for a second win from 10 starts. Debutant D B Pin settled third near the stands side, peeled out for a clear run 400m out and stayed on well to get into the Quinella spot 150m out. He'll come on for the run and probably wants 1,200m. Art Of Success ran on steadily to grab a placing 100m out after settling two off the grandstand side in fourth. Peace Combination grudgingly gave way over the final 150m after being aggressively ridden to find the front. Wonderful Fighter kept on all right following a handy run one off the stands side. Motif held his ground after travelling midfield in the centre of the course. Massive Millennium made some ground late near the outside fence after a tardy break. Well-punted late, first-timer Regency Horse made some ground without ever looking a chance after travelling two off the stands side behind midfield following a sluggish break.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (725)-RUBY HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1000Metres

On arrival at the Start, it was noted that DANCING FLAMES had lost its left front plate.

After this plate was refitted, DANCING FLAMES was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

On jumping, MASSIVE MILLENNIUM got its head up on a number of occasions after beginning awkwardly and consequently lost ground.

STRIKING STAR and REGENCY HORSE began only fairly.

After the 800 Metres, MASSIVE MILLENNIUM got its head on the side and shifted out, resulting in FORZA AVANTI momentarily racing in restricted room.

Then approaching the 600 Metres, FORZA AVANTI was eased away from the heels of MASSIVE MILLENNIUM which continued to lay out.

Throughout the race, IDYLLIC WIND hung in and proved difficult to ride.

DANCING FLAMES and D B PIN were sent for sampling.
