Racing Incident Report
Race Nine: (117) - CORUM EXCELLENT HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters
FLYING BONUS, which was leaning on the inside of its gate, began only fairly.
ZHAN JIANG ROCKS was steadied shortly after the start to obtain cover.
HELLO BEAUTY (Z Purton) shifted in at the start and bumped the hindquarters of AMBITIOUS HEART which became unbalanced and shifted out, resulting in HELLO BEAUTY being taken out and making significant contact with PRANCE DRAGON, causing HELLO BEAUTY and PRANCE DRAGON to become very badly unbalanced and for Z Purton to also become badly unbalanced.
In this incident, AMBITIOUS HEART lost its left front plate.
From the outside barriers, HARD PROMISE and DANCES WITH DRAGON were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
In the early stages, FLYING BONUS raced greenly.
Passing the 750 Metres, FLYING BONUS momentarily raced in restricted room inside OUR HERO which was racing tight inside JING JING WIN.
Near the 700 Metres, HARD PROMISE commenced to race keenly and was shifted away from the heels of HELLO BEAUTY, resulting in HARD PROMISE racing wide and without cover.
AMBITIOUS HEART lay out rounding the Home Turn.
Passing the 300 Metres, KING OPIE was struck on the nose by the whip of U Rispoli (PRANCE DRAGON).
Passing the 200 Metres, PRANCE DRAGON was shifted in away from the heels of KING OPIE which shifted in marginally.
Passing the 100 Metres, AMBITIOUS HEART, which lay out under pressure, raced tight inside MIGHTY MAVERICK.
A veterinary inspection of HELLO BEAUTY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
HANDSOME BO BO, KING OPIE and MIGHTY MAVERICK were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
King Opie got up 100m out settling nicely one off in fourth for a second win from three starts this term. He has the tools to climb higher. Mighty Maverick slipped through near the inside following a midfield run on the fence to snatch second from favourite Handsome Bo Bo. He's racing well and can ring up a victory soon. Handsome Bo Bo grudgingly gave way after surging to the front 250m out following a box-seat run. It was another honest effort. Ambitious Heart was coming back to the field over the final 150m after making the running from a wide gate. Prefer him in Class Four with the claimer on board at the Valley. Jing Jing Win just failed to get up for a Quartet spot after getting posted without cover in midfield until the 700m from a tricky gate. It wasn't a bad run. Prance Dragon came up one-paced over the final 150m following a pace-stalking run from an awkward gate. He's gone all right in his two starts but is still acclimatising.
