Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Beauty Applause kept on very well despite repeated pressure for the front by Island Shine to ring up a third win from six starts. Endearing was closing the gap with every stride to grab second 50m out after making his run one-off the fence better than midfield. He's honest as the day is long. Star Majestic was closing well along the inside to spice up the tierce following a midfield run on the fence. Island Shine gradually faded after serving it up to the leader. It was an encouraging debut effort and it won't take long before he wins a race. Honest Way ran on reasonably well but left things too late travelling third from the rear. Holy Heart ran on well two from the right after making his run one from the back. It was a much-improved effort after a dull run on the dirt. Expensive import General's Delight found nothing when popped the question following a oneoff run worse than midfield carrying top weight.

Racing Incident Report

Race Four: (144) - CANMAKE TOKYO HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters

ISLAND SHINE began awkwardly.

TAILOR MADE began only fairly.

GENERAL'S DELIGHT began awkwardly, then shifted in and bumped the hindquarters of STAR MAJESTIC, resulting in GENERAL'S DELIGHT losing ground.

From wide barriers, HONEST WAY, HOLY HEART and POWERMAX were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Passing the 1100 Metres, SO GLORIOUS travelled keenly when being steadied to obtain cover behind ISLAND SHINE.

THRILLED travelled wide and without cover until approaching the 600 Metres.

Close to the finishing line, ISLAND SHINE raced tight outside STAR MAJESTIC.

In the Straight, POWERMAX lay out under pressure.

N Callan, the rider of ENDEARING, was warned against the practice of raising his whip arm above the height of his shoulder.

A veterinary inspection of GENERAL'S DELIGHT immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm.

Before being allowed to race again, GENERAL'S DELIGHT will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on THRILLED at the request of Trainer T P Yung.

The Veterinary Surgeon reported that this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.

Before being allowed to race again, THRILLED will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

GENERAL'S DELIGHT, BEAUTY APPLAUSE and ENDEARING were sent for sampling.
