Recap by phillip woo

Post-time favourite Dragon Four Seas tracked the speed from gate five before surging to the lead 150m out and just scrambling in for a third win. Power Koepp ran on nicely with two wider out to make it close on the wire after biding his time fourth last from gate eight. He's come away with two wins and two seconds after a stable change. Sovereign Fund ran on nicely through the centre for second after settling midfield from gate six. He's given a good sight in back-to-back Class Threes following a Class Four success. Romantic Son found a few too good after a one-off trip from better than midfield. Everstar gradually faded after sitting wide just off the speed from gate seven. It was an OK effort up in grade following a win. Eason ran on without menacing after biding his time at the rear from gate 12. Superb Capitalist was on his tippy toes 100m out after rushing forward four wide from gate 11 to lead 800m out. He is a well-rated runner. Happy Fat Cat tamely faded after a prominent run on the fence. The big weight took its toll following a second win from three straight runs.

Racing Incident Report

Race Nine : (696) - WYNDHAM HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Meters



Horse No 1 HAPPY FAT CAT (G166) A Hamelin After the event A Hamelin stated that with his mount being up in weight tonight he was unable to lead the event when SUPERB CAPITALIST set a strong pace in the early stages.

He added in the Home Straight HAPPY FAT CAT did not respond to his riding and gave ground.

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

Horse No 2 SUPERB CAPITALIST (H092) Y L Chung After the event Y L Chung stated that he was obliged to make use of his mount in the early stages to cross to lead and as a result SUPERB CAPITALIST was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight.

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

Horse No 3 POWER KOEPP (E301) A Badel Near the 400 Metres was eased and shifted to the outside of SOVEREIGN FUND to commence a forward move.

Over the final 100 Metres lay in under pressure and approaching the winning post made contact with SOVEREIGN FUND.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 5 SUPERB BOY (G335) H Bowman When questioned regarding the performance of SUPERB BOY H Bowman stated that the horse is better suited when it is able to either dictate in the lead or race without having its momentum haltered.

He said after allowing the expected leader HAPPY FAT CAT to cross his mount in the early stages SUPERB BOY was then disadvantaged when HAPPY FAT CAT did not improve into the race and this was, in his opinion, the reason why his mount did not run on strongly in the Home Straight.

He added in the circumstances he was not too disappointed with the horse's performance.

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

Horse No 6 ROMANTIC SON (J537) L Ferraris Jumped awkwardly.

For a short distance near the 300 Metres was held up for clear running.

Near the 100 Metres was disappointed for clear running between SUPERB CAPITALIST and DRAGON FOUR SEAS which shifted in slightly.

Horse No 8 THE RED HARE (K312) K C Leung Jumped only fairly and shortly afterwards became unbalanced and lost ground.

Horse No 9 DRAGON FOUR SEAS (J317) Z Purton Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 11 EVERSTAR (K264) M F Poon Shifted in shortly after the start and was bumped.

Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

Horse No 12 SOVEREIGN FUND (J402) K Teetan The tongue tie was replaced on arrival at the Start.

Shortly after the start bumped with EVERSTAR which shifted in.

Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards gave consideration if there were sufficient grounds for a protest/objection due to POWER KOEPP shifting in over the concluding stages and making contact with SOVEREIGN FUND.

When Jockey K Teetan declined to lodge a protest/objection and the Stewards were satisfied that there were not sufficient grounds to do so weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge.

A Badel, the rider of POWER KOEPP, was advised to exercise more care and to stop riding and straighten his mounts when they shift ground and initiate contact with another runner.

He was also warned about using the whip in a forehand manner forward of the saddle on one occasion over the concluding stages.
