Recap by phillip woo

Favourite E-Super took control 120m out for the win after a dream run on the back of the speed. He was well rated after firing blanks last season and can win another sprinting over this course. Mr Right kept finding after leading from a middle gate to hold onto second after setting a genuine pace. He never produces a bad run over this Valley trip. Firming late in betting, Racing Mate finished well from behind midfield to grab a placing in the final few metres. He's usually goes well fresh and might be able to produce another good run next start but isn't one that holds his condition long. Most Beautiful closed off all right down the outside after travelling third from the rear. This was one of his better runs with blinkers back on but he might need longer than the 1,000m. Diego Kosta gradually gave way after chasing the speed at the top of the weights. He needs rating relief. Silver Spun made a mild bid following a midfield run but is clearly Class Four material.

Racing Incident Report

Race Four: (32) - THE FAKEI CUP (HANDICAP) - Class 3 - 1000Meters

SILVER SPUN shifted in at the start and was momentarily awkwardly placed outside the heels of DIEGO KOSTA.

From the outside barriers, MOST BEAUTIFUL, IRON BOY and MEGA TREASURE were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Approaching the 800 Metres, RACING MATE was eased away from the heels of SILVER SPUN which shifted in.

After the 700 Metres, E-SUPER was awkwardly placed close to the heels of MR RIGHT.

At the entrance to the Straight, E-SUPER and CIRCUIT KING raced tight.

When questioned regarding his riding out of IRON BOY over the concluding stages, D Whyte stated that his mount was making steady ground.

He said he positioned IRON BOY to proceed into a tight run between CIRCUIT KING and SILVER SPUN, however, SILVER SPUN shifted out under pressure which resulted in IRON BOY being disappointed for running between CIRCUIT KING and SILVER SPUN passing the 50 Metres.

He said he then shifted IRON BOY to the outside of CIRCUIT KING, however, in his opinion, the room between CIRCUIT KING and RACING MATE was tight and given it was close to the finishing line, he did not believe it was available for him to pressure IRON BOY into tight running between those two horses.

Whilst the Stewards accepted that IRON BOY had initially been disappointed for running between SILVER SPUN and CIRCUIT KING, they advised Jockey Whyte that, in their opinion, sufficient room was available between CIRCUIT KING and RACING MATE for him to continue to ride IRON BOY out to the end of the race.

However, given the proximity of the incident to the winning post and IRON BOY's beaten margin, the Stewards did not believe that a charge of having failed to ride IRON BOY out to the end of the race was appropriate.

D Whyte was however advised that he must, wherever circumstances permit, ride his mounts out all the way to the end of the race.

E-SUPER and MR RIGHT were sent for sampling.
