Recap by phillip woo

Lucky Encounter won going away 60m out after getting a dream run in the box seat for a maiden win at just his second start. He relished a rise in trip after a smart debut second over 1,000m. Green N White dashed well down the outside to snatch second from oddson favourite Beauty Destiny after biding his time five back and one off the fence. He's clearly a runner with a future when the penny drops. Newcomer Beauty Destiny coasted to the lead 350m out but was erratic when asked for more over the final 100m following a pace-stalking run. He couldn't live up to his eye-catching trials but it's still early days. Easy Snip ran on nicely with two wider out after biding his time three from the rear to fill the frame without threatening the top three. He continues to hold his form well. Regency Bo Bo came from last and widest out to finish next best. He gave them too much of a head start from gate 14. Gluck Racer made some ground after a wide with cover trip from behind midfield. He's close to a bottom. Call Me Dandy came up one paced when put to the test 200m out after a handy run one off the fence. The big weight took its toll.

Racing Incident Report

Race Two: (617) - FWD INSURANCE ACT PRIVATE HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters

NOBLE BOYZ was withdrawn on 28.4.23 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter EIGHT TRIGRAMS (M F Poon).

Before being allowed to race again, NOBLE BOYZ will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

When entering the Parade Ring, TACTICAL COMMAND made contact with a rail.

TACTICAL COMMAND was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race.

GOOD BOY was slow to begin and then soon afterwards was crowded between GREEN N WHITE which was taken in by TACTICAL COMMAND and EIGHT TRIGRAMS which shifted out.

ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL was slow to begin.

CALL ME DANDY jumped awkwardly and lost ground.

From the outside barrier, REGENCY BO BO was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

After travelling a short distance, TACTICAL COMMAND raced tight to the inside of BRAVE AND GOLD which shifted in before being corrected by its rider, V Borges.

Then near the 1000 Metres, TACTICAL COMMAND was steadied to avoid GREEN N WHITE which shifted out slightly.

Passing the 900 Metres, ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL was momentarily crowded by EASY SNIP which lay in before being corrected by its rider, C L Chau.

After the 800 Metres, SUPER CONTENTED was left racing wide and without cover.

Approaching the 350 Metres, GLUCK RACER endeavoured to obtain clear running to the outside of CALL ME DANDY and in doing so made contact with SUPER CONTENTED.

GLUCK RACER then had difficulty obtaining clear running until near the 300 Metres.

Again approaching the 150 Metres, GLUCK RACER became held up behind CALL ME DANDY before being shifted to that runner's outside at the 125 Metres.

Near the 125 Metres, BRAVE AND GOLD was shifted to the inside of GOOD BOY to obtain clear running.

Then over the final 50 Metres, BRAVE AND GOLD could not be ridden out when held up between GOOD BOY and EIGHT TRIGRAMS which was giving ground.

TRUST ME raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

When question regarding the performance of BEAUTY DESTINY, Z Purton reported that his mount, which was having its first race start, travelled comfortably throughout the early and middle stages.

He said when placed under pressure near the 300 Metres, BEAUTY DESTINY was inclined to race greenly and lay in and did not respond to his riding well.

A veterinary inspection of BEAUTY DESTINY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A veterinary inspection of SUPER CONTENTED immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

BEAUTY DESTINY, LUCKY ENCOUNTER and GREEN N WHITE were sent for sampling.
