Racing Incident Report
Race Five: (589) - VIOLET HILL HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1800Meters
As the start was effected, GOD OF DRAGON stood flat-footed and consequently was very slow to begin.
Before being allowed to race again, GOD OF DRAGON will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test.
TURQUOISE ALPHA and RIGHT AS RAIN bumped on jumping.
After this, despite being vigorously ridden along, TURQUOISE ALPHA failed to muster speed.
ROBOT WARRIOR shifted out at the start, resulting in SUPER ELEGANCE being bumped and taken out onto LOTUS FAVORITES which was hampered.
After this, both LOTUS FAVORITES and SUPER ELEGANCE were shifted across behind runners to obtain cover.
From a wide barrier, SUNNY DELIGHT was shifted across behind runners shortly after the start.
After initially being shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier, EEVEE was left racing wide after the 1400 Metres and was then allowed to improve its position, however, travelled wide and without cover throughout.
SUNNY DELIGHT travelled keenly for some distance after the 1600 Metres while TURQUOISE ALPHA travelled keenly for some distance after the 1500 Metres.
After the 1000 Metres, PERFECT TO GREAT momentarily raced in restricted room inside the heels of PERFECT MARYKNOLL.
Near the 350 Metres, RED ELYSEES raced tight outside SACRED IBIS which shifted out.
A veterinary inspection of ROBOT WARRIOR, EEVEE and LOTUS FAVORITES immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
RIGHT AS RAIN, PERFECT MARYKNOLL and LOOKING COOL were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Perfect Maryknoll kept finding when asked for more in the run to the wire after getting put to sleep clearing to the lead 1,300m out from gate 14 for an upset win. He got away with slow sections. Well-backed Looking Cool found one better on the day after getting a lovely run fifth along the fence. He had shown progress in two prior starts in Class Three. Sacred Ibis closed well to make it close for second after a rails run worse than midfield. He was an earlier 1,800m winner at the valley. Favourite Right As Rain got going late for fourth after making his run one from the rear. He wasn't suited by the slow pace. Murray's Partners gradually faded after chasing the speed one off the fence from a wide draw. It was an improved run. Red Elysees produced a grinding effort after a one-off trip in midfield. He tends to mix his form. Turquoise Alpha ran on without menacing from the second half of the field. He might be a force to be reckoned with shortly in Class Five. Specked late Robot Warrior made only a mild bid after a one-off run behind midfield. The combination of a rise in weight after a win and slow pace worked against him.
