Racing Incident Report
Race Ten: (65) - TIANJIN HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Meters
As C L Chau was unable to fulfil the engagement on I CAN due to being overweight, K Teetan was substituted as the rider of that horse.
C L Chau was fined the sum of $5,000.
After being loaded into the barriers, I CAN became fractious.
Before being allowed to race again, I CAN will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test.
LET'S DO IT was slow to begin.
From wide barriers, COMET SPLENDIDO and LUCKY GOLD were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
After passing the 500 Metres, BLUE MARLIN (H Bentley) shifted out from behind MAJESTIC COLOUR to obtain clear running and in doing so made contact with I CAN, resulting in that horse becoming unbalanced and being forced wider.
H Bentley was severely reprimanded and advised that in similar circumstances he needs to show more care when endeavouring to put his mounts into clear running.
Over the concluding stages, LET'S DO IT was shifted in abruptly when making ground to avoid the heels of OUTGATE.
HYPER DRAGON BALL lay in under pressure in the Home Straight.
I CAN raced wide and without cover throughout the race.
After the race, both H Bowman (MAJESTIC COLOUR) and Z Purton (HYPER DRAGON BALL) could offer no explanation for their mounts' performance.
A veterinary inspection of MAJESTIC COLOUR and HYPER DRAGON BALL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Also after the race, B Avdulla (CIRCUIT MIGHTY) explained that he was obliged to settle his mount further back than he had intended in an effort to gain cover, however, CIRCUIT MIGHTY did not travel comfortably in the middle stages before making ground in the Home Straight.
A veterinary inspection of CIRCUIT MIGHTY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of I CAN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
BLUE MARLIN and OUTGATE were sent for sampling.

Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Blue Marlin responded nicely to win going away 250m out from better than midfield to remain perfect in two starts this season despite a rise in class. He has the tools to head higher. Outgate found one too good after dictating the run from gate seven. He's building towards a win. Plunged late Let's Do It ran on well along the inside from near last to edge Golden Artie for third. He was able to build on pleasing seventh last month over 1,200m. Golden Artie just lost a placing after chasing the leader on the fence. It was a better effort after three dull runs to end last season. Comet Splendido was doing some nice work late from the rear of the field to finish next best. He's better over a longer trip at the Valley. Beauty Fit just held his ground from midfield. Storm Legend ran on steadily without threatening from behind midfield. He went okay but may not have points in hand after consecutive wins late last season. Majestic Colour was retreating 200m out after chasing the leader one off the fence. He needed the run and the big weight didn't help.
