Racing Incident Report
Race One: (557) - CONNAUGHT HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1000Meters
HARMONY FIRE shifted in at the start and brushed SPECIAL M.
FORTE got its head up on jumping and again shortly after the start when being steadied to obtain cover.
FORTE then travelled keenly after the 900 Metres.
Rounding the Home Turn, FORTE was awkwardly placed behind MASSIVE ACTION and on straightening was shifted to the inside of that horse to obtain clear running.
FORTE then raced in restricted room inside MASSIVE ACTION approaching and passing the 250 Metres which got its head on the side and lay in despite the efforts of its rider.
Approaching the 200 Metres, SPECIAL M and HARMONY FIRE raced tight.
A veterinary inspection of HARMONY FIRE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
WHIZZ KID and SPECIAL M were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Odds-on favourite Whizz Kid was too good despite having to work hard to lead 800m out from the widest gate in the seven-horse field. He's now won three of 10 starts and remains perfect in two runs over this Valley trip. Special M stayed on a clear-cut second without menacing the winner after a box-seat run. He continued his fine form over this Valley trip. Rising From Ashes finished nicely to grab a placing after travelling midfield in the small field. He's naturally showing progress in his four starts. Massive Action ran on steadily to fill the frame travelling behind midfield. He's shown flashes of ability in his four starts and will surely appeal to punters with Class Four looming large. Forte made some ground to just miss a top-four spot after travelling last following a tardy break. It was another honest effort at this level. Harmony Fire made the winner work early on but faded over the final 150m after tracking the speed for the most part. He continues his struggles carrying big weights. Diamond Brilliant never got in on the act travelling one from the rear. He's still trying to find his mark after a second-up win and is better suited over the 1,200m.
