Racing Incident Report
Race One : (240) - SILENT WITNESS HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters
Horse No 1 CITY THUNDER (J173) L Hewitson Approaching the 250 Metres was disappointed for clear running between LUCKY BLESSING and HAPPY PARK and was shifted to the outside of HAPPY PARK to secure clear running near the 200 Metres.
Horse No 3 RUN RUN TIMING (H403) J McDonald Shortly after the start shifted in and was bumped.
Approaching the 300 Metres was crowded between MR ENERGIA and DAY DAY VICTORY which was taken out by BRILLIANT EXPRESS (H Bowman) when that runner shifted to the outside of FORTUNE BOY to secure clear running.
H Bowman was advised to exercise more care.
Horse No 4 MR ENERGIA (J239) Z Purton Shortly after the start was bumped.
Approaching the 300 Metres was taken wider by RUN RUN TIMING.
Lay in the Home Straight.
Horse No 5 BRILLIANT EXPRESS (J321) H Bowman From the 450 Metres until approaching the 300 Metres was held up for clear running and when being shifted to the outside of FORTUNE BOY made contact with DAY DAY VICTORY.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 6 FORTUNE BOY (K098) T Marquand Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
Horse No 8 SONIC PURSUIT (K051) C Y Ho Made contact with the left side of its barrier on jumping and became unbalanced.
When questioned, C Y Ho stated that his mount raced keenly in the early stages and as a result maintained its position to the inside of BRILLIANT EXPRESS.
He said near the 800 Metres when BRILLIANT EXPRESS (H Bowman) shifted in and crowded his mount, SONIC PURSUIT then hung out across the heels of BRILLIANT EXPRESS and as a result was checked.
H Bowman was advised in similar circumstances to exercise more care.
Continued to race keenly and hang out in the middle stages.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Horse No 9 SUPER STRONG MAN (K001) M Chadwick Jumped only fairly.
Horse No 10 THE AUSPICIOUS (K004) A Badel From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Approaching the 300 Metres, when giving ground, was steadied away from INVINCIBLE LUCKY which shifted out.
Horse No 11 HAPPY PARK (J311) A Atzeni Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 12 MONARCH COUNTY (J421) B Shinn Jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
When questioned, B Shinn stated that his instructions were to position his mount where comfortable, but after jumping awkwardly MONARCH COUNTY settled towards the back of the field.
He said when placed under pressure in the Home Straight MONARCH COUNTY raced greenly and was one-paced and after the 200 Metres he was obliged to shift to the inside of CITY THUNDER to obtain clear running.
He added from that point on MONARCH COUNTY continued to race greenly and approaching the winning post shied out which resulted in him having to correct his mount slightly at the finish of the event.

After the event, A Pouchin reported that with blinkers applied for the first time his mount raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages and refused to settle.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Recap by phillip woo
Happy Park chased the speed outside Lucky Blessing, hit the lead 200m out and held off the late surge of Brilliant Express for a maiden win at his sixth start. Favourite Brilliant Express closed off nicely for second after a one-off trip from behind midfield. It was a solid effort on his seasonal reappearance off a 147-day break. City Thunder stayed on a close third but did get every chance following a prominent run along the inside. He's close to a win. Punted late Mr Energia made up good ground late for fourth after settling fourth last from gate 10. It was another honest performance. Monarch County made up noticeable ground late near the inside settling second last after a sluggish start and interference soon following the jump. He hasn't had the best of runs in any of his three career runs but this was clearly his best effort. Invincible Lucky made decent ground late with one wider out settling third last from an outside draw. He needed that run off an injury-induced absence.
