Recap by phillip woo

Fun Times accelerated nicely from behind midfield to take control 100m for a first win at his 11th start. He's always threatened to do this and today was his day. Relentless Me found one too good after establishing the lead from Phenomenal at the 850m. Mr Magellan stayed on a distant third following a one-out, one-back run. He's building towards a win. Villa Fionn finished nicely to just miss a placing after being held up early straight following a patient ride third from the rear. Punted late Seventy Seventy just failed to fill the frame after making his run fifth from the back. It wasn't a bad effort and he'll likely come on for this run. Specked late Lotus Breeze ran on without menacing after a deep run near the back. The wide gate cost him. Golden Four was short of room at times when trying to improve following a one off run worse than midfield. He had an excuse. Fortunate Runner left things too late after going back from a wide gate.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three: (41) - LAM TEI HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1400Meters

SHOUSON began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped RELENTLESS ME which became unbalanced.

AMAZING CHOCOLATE began only fairly.

From wide barriers, SUPERB AGILITY, FORTUNATE RUNNER and VILLA FIONN were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

SHOUSON got its head up when travelling keenly after the 1200 Metres.

Passing the 700 Metres, GOLDEN FOUR raced tight inside SHOUSON which improved into tight running inside PARTY EVERYDAY which got its head on the side and lay out.

At the 400 Metres, VILLA FIONN was shifted to the outside of LOTUS BREEZE when briefly held up after being awkwardly placed close to the heels of PARTY EVERYDAY which was taken out by FUN TIMES as that horse improved to the outside of SHOUSON.

Passing the 400 Metres, SEVENTY SEVENTY was awkwardly placed outside the heels of GOLDEN FOUR.

After the 100 Metres, SEVENTY SEVENTY raced tight between LOTUS BREEZE and GOLDEN FOUR which, after initially shifting out and away from MR MAGELLAN (G van Niekerk), was taken out by that horse.

G van Niekerk was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

Throughout the race, PARTY EVERYDAY travelled wide and without cover.

The performance of LUCKY WINDRIDER, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, LUCKY WINDRIDER will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

A veterinary inspection of LUCKY WINDRIDER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A veterinary inspection of SHOUSON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.

A veterinary inspection of FORTUNATE RUNNER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

FUN TIMES and RELENTLESS ME were sent for sampling.
