Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Happy Together just held off the late surge of Powerful Wings after racing to the lead 160m out following a prominent run for a first local win at his fifth start. He had been knocking on the door and can win again. Powerful Wings ran on nicely with three wider out to make it a bob of heads on the wire following a wide without cover trip from behind midfield. It was a return to form after failing to get involved in four prior starts. Casa Cosmo finished well to finish a close third after getting out of a jam early straight saving ground worse than midfield. He's building towards a win in his three local runs. Plunged late Circuit Mighty stayed on reasonably well after peeling off the tiring leader Massive Action following a handy run on the fence. It was a better effort with a step up to 1,600m at his second run in the grade. Maldives ran on late near the outside to just miss a spot in the first four after biding his time among the backmarkers. It was another honest effort. Erimo produced a grinding effort following a one-off trip from midfield. The big weight seemed to anchor him.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine: (396) - WU KING HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1600Meters



On arrival at the barriers, CIRCUIT MIGHTY was noted to have blood at its mouth.

CIRCUIT MIGHTY was examined by the Veterinary Officer and found to be suitable to race.

CASA COSMO shifted in at the start and made contact with CIRCUIT MIGHTY.

MALDIVES jumped only fairly.

On jumping, CELTIC TIMES shifted out and made contact with STRAIGHT ARRON, resulting in STRAIGHT ARRON being taken out and hampering IVY LEAGUE which began only fairly.

CELTIC TIMES was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages from a wide barrier.

Approaching the 1300 Metres, CIRCUIT MIGHTY was steadied away from the heels of DROMBEG BANNER which was racing tight to the inside of MASSIVE ACTION which was inclined to lay in slightly.

POWERFUL WINGS raced wide and without cover from the 1000 Metres.

Making the turn near the 900 Metres, STRAIGHT ARRON, which was racing keenly, got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of THE BEST PEACH.

STRAIGHT ARRON had some difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight before being shifted to the outside of THE BEST PEACH near the 350 Metres.

CASA COSMO was held up for clear running from the 400 Metres until near the 250 Metres.

Near the 350 Metres, HAPPY DAY was held up and directed to the inside of IVY LEAGUE to secure clear running.

Approaching the 250 Metres, THE BEST PEACH was bumped by ROMANTIC CHARM when that horse shifted out to improve.

Approaching the 200 Metres, CIRCUIT MIGHTY became held up for clear running between MASSIVE ACTION and DROMBEG BANNER and did not obtain clear running until approaching the 100 Metres.

Over the final 200 Metres, CELTIC TIMES had difficulty obtaining clear running and as a result could not be fully tested to the finish of the event.

At the finish, ROMANTIC CHARM and THE BEST PEACH made contact due to both runners shifting ground.

A veterinary inspection of IVY LEAGUE and DROMBEG BANNER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

HAPPY TOGETHER and POWERFUL WINGS were sent for sampling.
