Recap by phillip woo

Odds-on favourite Easy Hedge was caught deep on the speed from a wide gate, settled in the one-out, one-back with Beauty Love rolling forward to vie for the lead at the 800m, straightened four deep and closed off nicely despite laying in under pressure to grab victory 150m out. He'll come on further for the run and does appear to want even a further trip in time. Coral Lucky Star was asked to go forward from a tricky gate, was headed to his outside by Beauty Love, regained the lead rounding the final bend and kept on gamely in an improved run with a switch to blinkers. Blazing Pass made his run third from the rear along the rails after a sluggish break, shifted into the open five deep at the 350m and finished off well to grab a placing 30m out. Letsgofree saved ground in midfield, was held up until shifting into the clear four deep at the 250m and stayed on reasonably well thereafter to secure a Quartet spot. Respect couldn't turn it up another gear following a prominent run along the fence.

Racing Incident Report

Race One: (224)-ASHLEY HANDICAP - Class 4 (Restricted) - 1400Metres

J Moreira (EASY HEDGE) was fined the sum of $2,000 for failing to present himself in the Parade Ring by the required time.

After being loaded, TREASURE AND GOLD became fractious and momentarily got its left front leg over the stall partition.

TREASURE AND GOLD was removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

Before being allowed to race again, TREASURE AND GOLD will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test.

EMPEROR VICTORY began awkwardly and shifted in, resulting in BLAZING PASS becoming badly unbalanced and losing ground when crowded for room outside ALWAYS WONGCHOY which was hampered.

ALWAYS WONGCHOY then shifted in after being bumped by BLAZING PASS, causing HECARIM to be momentarily crowded for room.

EASY HEDGE shifted in abruptly at the start despite the efforts of its rider, resulting in RACINGFORPLEASURE being checked when crowded for room.

Near the 1100 Metres, BEAUTY LOVE (G Mosse) became badly unbalanced and blundered.

G Mosse stated that he was unable to offer any explanation for the horse, which was having its first race start, becoming unbalanced at this time of the race as it did not strike the heels of the runner in front at the time.

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

Trainer A S Cruz was advised that having regard to the fact that the horse had satisfactorily undertaken four barrier trials in the lead up to today's race, a warning would be placed upon BEAUTY LOVE.

When being steadied to allow BEAUTY LOVE to cross passing the 1000 Metres, EMPEROR VICTORY got its head up on a number of occasions and proved difficult to settle.

EMPEROR VICTORY was then left racing wide and without cover near the 800 Metres.

Near the 350 Metres, RESPECT was steadied when disappointed for running between CORAL LUCKY STAR and BEAUTY LOVE.

For some distance passing the 350 Metres, LETSGOFREE, which was following RESPECT, was held up for clear running.

Then approaching the 300 Metres, BLAZING PASS, which was following LETSGOFREE, was steadied away from the heels of that horse when LETSGOFREE was shifted out into clear running.

EASY HEDGE and CORAL LUCKY STAR were sent for sampling.
