Recap by phillip woo

Rank outsider Hardly Swears came with a bold run near the inside travelling third from the back to blouse favourite Best Smile for a maiden win at only his second start. There's likely more to come. Best Smile was just collared after reclaiming the lead rounding the final bend from Look Eras. He didn't everything right but get the win and should be winning shortly. Well-backed late, Winning Ways came on well following a midfield run to finish a close third. He isn't easy to get right and had had the benefit of a run on opening day. Everbrave surged late to finish just out of the placings after finding a spot one-off behind midfield. Multimax finished in the frame following a handy run. He's honest but prefer him in Class Five. Zero Hedge came up empty when asked for an effort following a dram run on the back of the speed. He's beyond his better days. Specked late Sam's Love got going late from near the back but the trip was too short.

Racing Incident Report

Race Five: (25) - MIDDLE BAY HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1000Meters

BEST SMILE stumbled at the start.

ZERO HEDGE began only fairly, shifted out and bumped WINNING WAYS, resulting in both horses becoming unbalanced.

I'M THE CONQUIST was checked on jumping when crowded for room between NICE FANDANGO and LOOK ERAS which shifted out.

From the outside barriers, COBY WIN and HARDLY SWEARS were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Throughout the race, ALLIED AGILITY lay out and after the 900 Metres was left racing wide and without cover.

Then making the turn after the 600 Metres, when continuing to lay out, ALLIED AGILITY got its head on the side and shifted out further.

After this, ALLIED AGILITY continued to lay out and then rounding the Home Turn was taken wider by SAM'S LOVE which was hampered and taken out by EVERBRAVE (A Domeyer) which shifted out.

A Domeyer was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

Near the 150 Metres, NICE FANDANGO was shifted out away from the heels of WINNING WAYS (K Teetan) which shifted out.

K Teetan was advised to exercise more care.

A veterinary inspection of ALLIED AGILITY and LOOK ERAS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, both horses were unable to be scoped due to being fractious.

HARDLY SWEARS and BEST SMILE were sent for sampling.
