Recap by phillip woo

California Vanes was soon up stalking the speed despite dipping just after the start, hit the front 100m out and kept on gamely for a second career win at his first try on the AWT at his ninth start. It wasn't a strong Class Four but he's shown good versatility on both surfaces. Miracles rallied nicely to finish a close second after settling second last from the widest draw. He lived up to a good trial win on the dirt. Well-backed late Luck Star made it interesting on the wire after a one-off trip in midfield. He showed some progress late last season for his new trainer and didn't mind the switch in surfaces. Colourful Prince just lost a placing late after dictating the run. He's limited and destined for Class Five. Favourite Telecom Missile couldn't go on inside the final 100m after looming a chance 200m out following a box-seat run. He was having his first run of the campaign but seems limited to Class Five. Viva A La made some ground without ever looking a threat from the rear of the field at just his second career start and first on the surface. Win Win Charity failed to get involved from out back in his initial run on the dirt.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (19) - BEDFORD HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters

On arrival at the Start, it was noted that CALIFORNIA VANES had blood in the mouth.

CALIFORNIA VANES was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

MIRACLES stumbled at the start and from the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

CALIFORNIA VANES also stumbled at the start and lost its right front plate on jumping.

VIVA A LA was crowded for room on jumping between LUCK STAR and WIN WIN CHARITY, both of which shifted ground.

Then after the 1150 Metres, VIVA A LA momentarily raced tight inside the heels of WIN WIN CHARITY.

Approaching the 800 Metres, TELECOM MISSILE raced tight inside the heels of COLOURFUL PRINCE which got its head on the side and lay in away from CALIFORNIA VANES.

TELECOM MISSILE, CALIFORNIA VANES and MIRACLES were sent for sampling.
