Recap by phillip woo

Xiang Bai Qi quickened nicely to win going away 60m out after settling one off behind midfield from a middle draw. He's not a prolific winner but did put the writing on the wall with a good second last start over the 2,200m. Firming favourite Fast Pace found one too good after taking off following a one-off run in midfield at the 800m to find the front 650m out. He continues to race well at both tracks. Golden Spectrum got shuffled back to have two behind him rounding the final bend but finished nicely to fill a placing. It was an improved effort with a return to the level and course and distance of a win in July of last year. Helene Wisdom Star ran on to finish a non-threatening fourth after a deep trip travelling beyond midfield from a wide draw. He keeps promising but is having trouble delivering. Namjong Plus got going from last and widest out to nearly fill the frame. The moderate race tempo worked against him. Clement Legend ran on without menacing after a rail run behind midfield. The old-timer is finding it harder this season but might be one to keep safe if he finds his way into Class Four.

Racing Incident Report

Race Seven: (495) - BULKELEY HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1800Meters



MURRAY'S PARTNERS was slow to begin.

From the outside barriers, NAMJONG PLUS and HELENE WISDOM STAR were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

After the 700 Metres, XIANG BAI QI was left racing wide and without cover.

Near the 550 Metres, WORLD FAMOUS was awkwardly placed behind FAST PACE.

ALPHA HEDGE, which was following WORLD FAMOUS, raced close to the heels of that horse in consequence.

After the race, M Chadwick explained that he was asked to ride CASIMIRO with cover and, from barrier 8, it was felt that this may be in about a midfield position or slightly worse than midfield.

He said CASIMIRO began very well and immediately travelled into the bridle which resulted in him not being able to steady the horse to place it in a midfield position as hoped.

He said as CASIMIRO was travelling strongly in the early stages, he allowed the horse to improve forward of FAST PACE and obtain a position behind the lead after passing the winning post on the first occasion.

He said at no time in the early stages did he ride CASIMIRO along.

He added CASIMIRO then finished off the race only one-paced.

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

J Moreira explained that passing the 900 Metres FAST PACE was travelling strongly and was awkwardly placed behind CASIMIRO.

He said as the race was not being run at a particularly fast tempo, he elected to shift FAST PACE away from the heels of CASIMIRO and improved his position after the 800 Metres and obtained the lead after the 700 Metres.

He said FAST PACE was able to improve its position easily at this stage and he was then able to bring the horse back under him passing the 600 Metres.

He added he felt that it was in the best interests of FAST PACE to make a quick move at this stage rather than continuing to be awkwardly placed behind CASIMIRO and then possibly being left flat-footed when the tempo of the race increased.

A veterinary inspection of WORLD FAMOUS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

XIANG BAI QI and FAST PACE were sent for sampling.
