Recap by phillip woo

Super Turbo came on strongly near the inside after travelling fourth from the rear to get up in a blanket finish for the win following an eye-catching debut last month. He's got the tools to head higher. Punted late Happy Bao Bei settled one off the fence in fourth, straightened five deep and finished well to run down Extremely Fun by a whisker for second. Extremely Fun went forward from a wide gate to park second in the run outside Harbour Alert, assumed the front 200m out and was swamped in the shadows of the post. Favourite Flying Tourbillon settled one off the fence in midfield, swung the final bend with one wider out and ran on steadily to finish a close fourth. Wah May Baby made some ground without menacing near the inside from behind midfield. Fancied late in betting Five Up High made some progress widest out after a patient ride third from the rear. All Great Friends had no excuse following a box-seat run. Harbour Alert went straight to the front from a wide gate, cornered nearly a length on top and was stopping 160m out. Both Lucky was withdrawn at the gate.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (773)-LET ME FIGHT HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

DA VINCI was withdrawn on 5.7.16 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter EXTREMELY FUN (N Callan).

Before being allowed to race again, DA VINCI will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

On arrival at the Start, J Moreira, the rider of BOTH LUCKY, expressed concern regarding the action of the horse.

BOTH LUCKY was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said the horse was lame in the right hind leg and accordingly was not suitable to race.

Acting on this advice, BOTH LUCKY was withdrawn by order of the Stewards.

Before being allowed to race again, BOTH LUCKY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

CHIU CHOW KID and SUPER TURBO began only fairly and shortly after the start were crowded for room between FUN MANAGER and FLYING TOURBILLON which shifted in after being bumped by HAPPY BAO BEI.

Shortly after the start, RAINBOW FIGHTER was checked when crowded for room between FIVE UP HIGH and HARBOUR ALERT which was racing tight inside EXTREMELY FUN which lay in.

Despite being ridden along in the early stages, WAH MAY BABY was slow to muster speed.

Making the turn approaching the 900 Metres, HAPPY BAO BEI got its head up when being steadied to obtain cover.

After the 300 Metres, FLYING TOURBILLON was shifted out away from the heels of HAPPY BAO BEI which got its head on the side and shifted out.

Over the final 200 Metres, WAH MAY BABY lay in under pressure.

Approaching the 50 Metres, SUPER TURBO was shifted in away from the heels of EXTREMELY FUN.

Over the concluding stages, SUPER TURBO and EXTREMELY FUN raced tight.

Also over the concluding stages, WAH MAY BABY raced tight inside the heels of HAPPY BAO BEI and consequently was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race.

A veterinary inspection of HARBOUR ALERT immediately following the race revealed the horse to be lame in its left front leg.

Before being allowed to race again, HARBOUR ALERT will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

FLYING TOURBILLON, SUPER TURBO and HAPPY BAO BEI were sent for sampling.
