Recap by phillip woo

A La King held off a challenge on both sides to just prevail after hitting the front 150m out following a dream run in the box-seat. He relished a downgrade and step up in distance. Favourite Bulletproof closed nicely near the outside after a one-off trip behind midfield to miss out by a short-head. He's close to a win. Kungfumaster Panda finished nicely along the inside after a rails run in midfield to make it close on the wire. He was able to back up a last start win. Laputa ran on steadily to fill the frame without menacing the top three after finding the fence behind midfield from the widest draw. He may be closing in on a rating bottom. Amazing New ran on without menacing after a patient ride one from the rear. It was a better effort on his past few runs. V Chevaliers made some progress late down the outside without ever looking a threat travelling last from a wide draw. It was a typical effort and he requires some relief in the ratings. Speed Fay Fay weakened 150m out after going for home on top stalking the leader Asian One from a tricky gate. Off his current mark, he needs everything to go his way in the right race. Smiling City peaked on his run 150m out after launching his bid 400m out following a one-off trip in midfield. He continues to disappoint.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (309) - PATERSON HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Meters

When being shifted across behind SMILING CITY passing the 1600 Metres, BULLETPROOF was awkwardly placed close to the heels of that horse when SMILING CITY shifted out marginally.

Approaching the winning post on the first occasion, SUPER RED DRAGON and YEE CHEONG WARRIOR raced tight as YEE CHEONG WARRIOR attempted to shift in to obtain cover.

When unable to shift in, YEE CHEONG WARRIOR was then left racing wide and without cover after the 1300 Metres.

Passing the winning post on the first occasion, MISTER ARM was crowded for room between ASIAN ONE and SPEED FAY FAY which shifted in.

Approaching the 1200 Metres, A LA KING commenced to travel keenly and got its head up on a number of occasions.

When racing keenly, A LA KING shifted out and raced tight inside MISTER ARM.

For some distance after the 1200 Metres, SMILING CITY got its head up when proving difficult to settle and awkwardly placed behind MISTER ARM.

Approaching the 400 Metres, MISTER ARM raced tight outside A LA KING which attempted to shift out from behind ASIAN ONE to follow SPEED FAY FAY.

When unable to shift out, A LA KING was shifted in away from the heels of SPEED FAY FAY, resulting in KUNGFUMASTER PANDA being awkwardly placed close to the heels of A LA KING passing the 400 Metres.

LAPUTA had some difficulty obtaining clear running passing the 300 Metres and near the 250 Metres shifted out and bumped MISTER ARM when attempting to improve into tight running between that horse and A LA KING.

Approaching the 250 Metres, KUNGFUMASTER PANDA was shifted to the inside of SPEED FAY FAY to obtain clear running.

A veterinary inspection of SMILING CITY, YEE CHEONG WARRIOR and MISTER ARM immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A LA KING and BULLETPROOF were sent for sampling.
