Recap by phillip woo

Hot-pot favourite Love Shock settled fourth along the fence, eased into the open four deep upon straightening and quickened well to get up 120m out for a second win from four starts. He's got the tools to head a lot higher. Flying Moochi shared the lead with Regency Darling to his outside, opened up by a length 300m out and kept on gamely to hold Five Up High for second. Five Up High was really getting going four deep following a one-off run in midfield. Green Card was patiently ridden beyond midfield with cover from a wide gate, swung the final bend with three wider out and was finishing full of run to just miss a placing. Newcomer Winfield came from near the back along the inside to finish a distant fifth in a pleasing debut. Regency Darling was a thorn in the side of Flying Moochi and knocked up in the final 150m. Punted late Verbinsky had a bad habit of lugging in under pressure after corning six deep following a deep run without cover.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (782)-MR AWARD HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

WINFIELD began awkwardly and lost ground.

LOOKS LIKE THE CAST began awkwardly.

THE FULL BLOOM began only fairly and then was crowded for room on jumping between GOAL FOR GOLD and LOVE SHOCK which shifted out.

BEST REWARD was crowded for room on jumping between FLYING MOOCHI and GREEN CARD, both of which shifted ground.

Making the first turn after the 900 Metres, WINFIELD got its head on the side and shifted out, resulting in SEE ME NOW being crowded for room inside GREEN CARD.

SEE ME NOW continued to race tight between WINFIELD and GREEN CARD and near the 750 Metres was steadied when WINFIELD again got its head on the side and lay out.

Near the 550 Metres, AMAZINGLY was awkwardly placed inside the heels of FIVE UP HIGH which lay in towards the heels of LOVE SHOCK.

Passing the 400 Metres, BRIGHT STAR shifted out away from LOVE SHOCK and bumped the hindquarters of VERBINSKY which became unbalanced.

LOVE SHOCK and FLYING MOOCHI were sent for sampling.
