Recap by phillip woo

Sensationally-backed to jump favourite Grand Plus settled one back and three deep with cover, swung the final bend five deep and got up 100m out for the win despite a step up to the mile for the first time. Axiom settled fourth from the rear along the rails, shifted into the clear with three wider out at the 300m and finished well to collar Cartoon Fay Fay for second. Cartoon Fay Fay was posted without cover the entire trip in third, advanced to the front 200m out and found a couple too smart in the end. Scimitar travelled deep behind midfield with cover, rounded the final bend widest out and was getting going late to finish a distant fourth. Horse Aplenty settled one off in second behind the late-fancied leader Short Squeeze, straightened three deep and was one-paced over the final 200m. Short Squeeze went straight to the front, cornered a length on top and was yielding ground 200m out. Early favourite Goldland Dancer settled behind midfield, straightened five deep and only held his ground.

Racing Incident Report

Race Six: (396)-GRAND DELIGHT HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1650Metres

GOLDLAND DANCER was slow to begin.

From wide barriers, AXIOM and OLE OLE were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Despite being ridden along in the early stages, FLYING ELITE failed to muster speed and passing the winning post on the first occasion was shifted across behind runners.

For some distance making the turn after passing the winning post on the first occasion, SHORT SQUEEZE got its head on the side and lay out.

Making the turn near the 700 Metres, SHORT SQUEEZE shifted out, resulting in HORSE APLENTY, which was laying in, being hampered and taken out onto CARTOON FAY FAY which was also hampered.

NONE OTHER, which was racing outside CARTOON FAY FAY, was also taken wider.

Also making the turn near the 700 Metres, N Callan (MIGHTY K) dropped his left rein.

Passing the winning post, K C Leung was dislodged from OLE OLE.

After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that OLE OLE was lame in its right front leg.

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

K C Leung was subsequently examined by the Club's medical officers and passed fit to fulfil his remaining race riding engagements.

Throughout the race, NONE OTHER travelled wide and without cover.

The performances of NONE OTHER and GALAXY PRANCER, which finished tailed out, were considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, NONE OTHER and GALAXY PRANCER will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

A veterinary inspection of GOLDLAND DANCER and GERONIMO MEADOW immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

GRAND PLUS and AXIOM were sent for sampling.
