Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Malmsteen was well rated on the front, cornered a length on top and kept on nicely for a third win from seven outings. Sunny Orient kept on gamely after parking one off in second in a pleasing debut. He's one to keep an eye on for next season. Travel Successor saved ground in fifth, stayed to the inside upon straightening and kept on well to give the exotics some value. Healthy Joyful settled fore of midfield one off the fence, lost ground when steadying off heels 600m out and ran on steadily when only gaining a run after switching outside a tiring Green Card five deep at the 200m to get up for a Quartet spot. He should have gone closer. Green Card travelled deep in midfield, forced wide at the 850m by Arizona Blizzard, straightened with three wider out and came up onepaced 200m out. Fun Manager made only a mild bid following a rails run in midfield. Forever Posh faded 150m out after a prominent run without cover. Arizona Blizzard didn't lift widest out upon straightening after twice getting steadied in the run. Radiant Steed was struggling 250m out under the whip despite a one-out, one-back run.

Racing Incident Report

Race Five: (729)-AMETHYST HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1200Metres

GREEN CARD was crowded for room on jumping between RADIANT STEED and AIMING HIGH, both of which shifted ground.

A short distance after this, AIMING HIGH shifted out and bumped SEE ME NOW whilst MALMSTEEN shifted out and bumped RADIANT STEED.

From the outside barrier, SALSA BROTHERS was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

ARIZONA BLIZZARD lost its right front plate near the 1150 Metres.

Making the first turn approaching the 900 Metres, GREEN CARD was steadied away from the heels of HEALTHY JOYFUL.

Also making the first turn near the 900 Metres, MALMSTEEN got its head up and raced ungenerously.

Passing the 800 Metres, ARIZONA BLIZZARD commenced to prove difficult to settle and shifted out across the heels of HEALTHY JOYFUL which was being steadied away from the heels of RADIANT STEED which itself was being steadied to allow SUNNY ORIENT to cross.

In this incident, ARIZONA BLIZZARD struck the heels of HEALTHY JOYFUL and lost ground.

ARIZONA BLIZZARD continued to prove very difficult to settle and was checked away from the heels of HEALTHY JOYFUL for some distance.

After passing the 800 Metres, HEALTHY JOYFUL shifted out away from the heels of RADIANT STEED which was proving difficult to settle when being steadied away from the heels of SUNNY ORIENT.

In this incident, HEALTHY JOYFUL bumped GREEN CARD.

After the 700 Metres, AIMING HIGH was bumped and taken wider by ARIZONA BLIZZARD which shifted out when continuing to race keenly.

Passing the 400 Metres, FUN MANAGER was steadied when disappointed for running between TRAVEL SUCCESSOR and RADIANT STEED which shifted in.

HEALTHY JOYFUL had difficulty obtaining a run in the early part of the Straight and near the 250 Metres was shifted out away from the heels of GREEN CARD to obtain clear running.

TRAVEL SUCCESSOR also had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight and, when improving into restricted room near the 50 Metres between MALMSTEEN and SUNNY ORIENT (C Schofield), was struck across the nose by the whip of C Schofield.

Passing the 50 Metres, SEE ME NOW was checked in away from the heels of ARIZONA BLIZZARD.

When questioned, N Callan (HEALTHY JOYFUL) stated that he had been instructed to ride the horse behind the lead.

He said after beginning well he allowed firstly MALMSTEEN to cross HEALTHY JOYFUL to race in the lead and after this obtained a trailing position behind RADIANT STEED which was hard ridden to obtain a forward position.

He said after the 1000 Metres RADIANT STEED was steadied to allow SUNNY ORIENT to cross and this resulted in HEALTHY JOYFUL racing slightly further back in the field than had been intended.

Throughout the race, FOREVER POSH travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of ARIZONA BLIZZARD and RADIANT STEED immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

MALMSTEEN and SUNNY ORIENT were sent for sampling.
