Recap by phillip woo

Curling Luxury kept finding when challenged by Money Marshal rounding the final bend for an all-the-way win. The Sha Tin 1,800m was the query but he was a Class Four horse in Class Five. Money Marshal produced a game run after strolling forward to sit on the leader's back 1,500m out. It was one of his better efforts to date with a step up in distance following a dull 1,400m run last month. Sky Gem kept plugging away travelling one off in third to fill a placing. He's not far off a win. Proud Sky got going to snatch fourth after peeling into the open at the 300m following a ground-saving run behind midfield. Favourite Regency Gem was allowed to peel out following a midfield run on the fence at the 200m by Sky Gem before getting strung up behind the leading pair over the final 100m. Young Glory ran on without menacing from the rear of the field. He's not genuine. Full Of Chances moves from near the back at the 700m peaked 300m out.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (68) - BELCHER BAY HANDICAP - Class 5 - 1800Meters

WINNING CIRCLE began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped CURLING LUXURY.

On jumping, PROUD SKY was crowded for room between REGENCY GEM which shifted out and WICKER which shifted in after receiving contact on the hindquarters from PROUD SKY.

From the outside barrier, ROMANTIC JOURNEY was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.

In the Straight, REGENCY GEM hung in and proved difficult to ride and after endeavouring to improve to the outside of MONEY MARSHAL (L Hewitson) after passing the 200 Metres, REGENCY GEM was obliged to switch to the inside of the heels of that horse when it shifted out approaching the 150 Metres.

Then over the final 50 Metres, REGENCY GEM was held up and unable to be tested when awkwardly placed inside the heels of MONEY MARSHAL which shifted back in under pressure.

L Hewitson was advised to ensure that he makes more endeavour to keep his mounts on a straight course in future.

A veterinary inspection of WINNING CIRCLE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

REGENCY GEM, CURLING LUXURY and MONEY MARSHAL were sent for sampling.
