Racing Incident Report
Race Eight: (120) - SPOONBILL HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters
Trainer C W Chang was fined the sum of $3,000 for presenting MOERAKI in the Parade Ring with a parade hood, which was not part of that horse's declared gear.
NAMJONG SINGS shifted out at the start and inconvenienced GOOD VIEW CLARICO.
EXCELLENT CHARIOT began awkwardly, shifted in at the start and bumped PROUD DRAGON.
TEAM SPIRIT shifted in at the start and bumped MOERAKI which then became unbalanced and shifted in despite the efforts of its rider, resulting in GALLANT EXPRESS and EXCELLENT CHARIOT being crowded for room between MOERAKI and PROUD DRAGON.
From the outside barrier, A LA KING was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Passing the 1100 Metres, SCIENCE PATCH momentarily raced tight inside MAGIC PHOENIX which then shifted out.
SCIENCE PATCH then became unbalanced when steadied away from the heels of MAGIC PHOENIX (H T Mo) approaching the 1000 Metres which shifted in when not properly clear.
H T Mo was reprimanded and told to ensure that he is sufficiently clear of other runners when crossing in future.
Passing the 800 Metres, GALLANT EXPRESS got its head up when awkwardly placed behind THE GOLDEN SCENERY.
Rounding the Home Turn and in the early part of the Straight, GALLANT EXPRESS was awkwardly placed behind PROUD DRAGON when racing tight inside the hindquarters of MOERAKI.
This resulted in GALLANT EXPRESS being steadied when racing behind PROUD DRAGON at the entrance to the Straight after that horse lay out rounding the Home Turn.
GALLANT EXPRESS was then directed out abruptly passing the 400 Metres to obtain clear running to the outside of MOERAKI.
Passing the 350 Metres, when improving into tight running between PROUD DRAGON and NAMJONG SINGS, THE GOLDEN SCENERY raced tight outside the heels of NAMJONG SINGS which shifted out marginally.
Throughout the race, PROUD DRAGON travelled wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection of NAMJONG SINGS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of PROUD DRAGON immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils.
After the race, it was reported that THE GOLDEN SCENERY had sustained a minor laceration to its right hind heel.
MASTER EIGHT and THE GOLDEN SCENERY were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Odds-on favourite Master Eight was under a tight hold in front and proved too good to remain unbeaten in three starts. It was another impressive importance and there's clearly more to come. The Golden Scenery closed well to easily take second after settling five back and one off the fence with cover from a middle draw. He keeps promising and can bob up at any moment. Team Spirit kept on gamely for second working forward from a wide gate to track the leader. He's always a chance at this level. Gallant Express came from last and with one wider out at the 200m to just miss a placing. It was a nice run first-up after showing ability in his three outings last term. Newcomer Science Patch closed off all right after saving ground worse than midfield from gate one. He likely has the tools to build on a starting mark of 63. Excellent Chariot ran on without menacing from towards the rear. He went all right following a Class Four win in July. Namjong Sings had his chance but peaked on his move 150m out following a one-off trip in midfield. The rise in weight for a last-start win took its toll. Punted late Proud Dragon had an excuse after a wide without cover run beyond midfield the entire trip.
