Recap by phillip woo

Well-backed Infinite Power fought back to reclaim the front from Infinity Win 80m out before finding just enough left in the tank to hold Falcon Turbo by a bob of the heads for the win. He was fitter for a run and relished a return to the surface and trip of a win in June. Falcon Turbo made it close on the wire after peeling off the fence for a clear run 300m out following a dream run along the fence. It was a solid effort rejoining the Douglas Whyte stable with the claim well utilised and he should get away with a race shortly in this grade. Favourite Infinity Win briefly went to the front 200m out chasing the leader one off the fence from a wide gate but came up one-paced over the final 50m. He's run well in each of his three starts and will be saluting shortly. Viva Hunter ran on steadily to finish fourth without menacing the top-three after a deep with cover run in midfield. It was a reasonable effort carrying more weight following a win on opening day. Well-backed Prance Dragon stayed on all right after badly over-racing in midfield along the fence. He'll certainly benefit from this run after a 200-day break. Newcomer Boom Stich ran on without menacing settling second last. He needed the run.

Racing Incident Report

Race Five: (59) - KWONG FUK HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters

When parading, STREET SCREAM became fractious and reared, resulting in the lead rope becoming momentarily entangled in the horse's legs.

A veterinary examination of STREET SCREAM in the Parade Ring found that horse to have sustained an abrasion to the right hock but to be suitable to proceed to the barriers.

On arrival at the barriers, STREET SCREAM was again examined by the Veterinary Officer who said that the horse was suitable to race.

PRANCE DRAGON began awkwardly.

VIVA HUNTER shifted out at the start and bumped BOOM STITCH which was then crowded for room inside INFINITE POWER.

NEW ASIA ADVANCE and STREET SCREAM bumped at the start.

From the outside barrier, HERCULES was steadied on jumping and shifted across behind runners.

Passing the 1100 Metres, NEW ASIA ADVANCE and BOOM STITCH bumped as a result of being crowded for room between VIVA HUNTER and STREET SCREAM which lay in.

STREET SCREAM was then directed out to relieve the tightening to runners to its inside.

Despite being ridden along for some distance after the 1000 Metres, JUDY'S STAR was reluctant to maintain its position and making the turn near the 900 Metres shifted out and bumped the hindquarters of VIVA HUNTER.

A veterinary inspection of JUDY'S STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

For a considerable distance after the 800 Metres, PRANCE DRAGON raced close to the heels of FALCON TURBO.

After the race, FALCON TURBO was found to have sustained abrasions to the left hind heel.

In the early part of the Straight, STREET SCREAM got its head on the side and lay in under pressure and was reluctant to shift to the outside of VIVA HUNTER.

Approaching the 300 Metres, FALCON TURBO was shifted to the outside of INFINITY WIN after being disappointed for running between that horse and INFINITE POWER.

BOOM STITCH raced greenly under pressure in the Straight and shifted ground on a number of occasions.

Throughout the race, RED BRICK GLORY travelled wide and without cover.

INFINITY WIN, INFINITE POWER and FALCON TURBO were sent for sampling.
