Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Fighting Machine dashed well to take control 50m out after Zac Purton rode him patiently five back and one off the fence. It was his maiden victory, but he had caught the eye in both of his previous starts. He could win again. Perfetto came from last to get the better of Happy For All in a photo finish for second. It was the best of his four efforts this term. Happy For All was badly held up until 150m out following his prominent run on the fence. He should have finished closer. Solid Shalaa got up to fill the frame after travelling one off the rail in midfield. He is not far off a bottom. Devas Twelve grudgingly gave way late after settling better than midfield and surging to the lead about 300m from home. He is naturally coming to hand. Volcanic Spark did not get a clear run until the final 100m after settling three from the rear. He was unlucky. Island Golden held his ground after travelling wide without cover around midfield from gate 13. Natural Gold disappointed after getting all the favours in the box seat from barrier eight. He needs to improve.

Horse No 8 SMILING COLLECTOR (G128) K Teetan After the race, K Teetan reported that when left without cover his mount raced too keenly and as a result was left without a finishing effort.

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

Horse No 9 VOLCANIC SPARK (H388) K De Melo Bumped at the start.

Approaching the 400 Metres was held up for clear running behind SUPER TEN and then shifted to the inside of NATURAL GOLD after the 200 Metres to secure clear running.

Horse No 10 FIGHTING MACHINE (J015) Z Purton Near the 1200 Metres was steadied when crowded by BEYOND TURBO (C L Chau) which shifted in before being corrected by its rider.

C L Chau was reprimanded.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 11 DEVAS TWELVE (H435) M Chadwick Near the 400 Metres became unbalanced when bumped by ISLAND GOLDEN which lay in.

Horse No 12 RED MAVERICK (J067) H T Mo Jumped awkwardly and then was crowded shortly after the start.

For some distance after the 1200 Metres got its head up when racing keenly.

Horse No 13 NATURAL GOLD (E402) L Ferraris At declaration time, L Hewitson was declared as the rider of both ISLAND GOLDEN and NATURAL GOLD.

It was established that L Hewitson had a firm commitment to ride ISLAND GOLDEN.

As such, the Stewards permitted L Ferraris to be substituted as the rider of NATURAL GOLD.

For this declaration error, Trainer D J Whyte was fined $2,000.

Horse No 14 MAXIMIZE HEART (D311) A Atzeni When questioned regarding his riding rounding the Home Turn and in the early part of the Home Straight, A Atzeni stated that he was instructed to take up a midfield position with cover if possible and that to hold the horse up for a final run in the Home Straight as MAXIMIZE HEART only has a short sprint.

He said after settling back in the field when following the favourite in the event FIGHTING MACHINE, he was content to remain racing behind that runner approaching the Home Turn, but then elected to shift to its outside near the 500 Metres when FIGHTING MACHINE initially did not improve.

He added as a result he then became held up for clear running behind BEYOND TURBO before shifting to that runner's inside approaching the 300 Metres whereby he secured clear running and MAXIMIZE HEART finished the race off well.

When questioned if there was an opportunity to shift to the outside on the Home Turn and provide his mount with a clear run sooner than what it had obtained, A Atzeni stated that bearing in mind his instructions, he felt it would be best to ride MAXIMIZE HEART between horses to save it up for a final run to the finish.

Trainer C H Yip confirmed the instructions issued.

The Stewards advised Jockey Atzeni that, in their opinion, he would have been better suited to shift to the outside and obtain the position that PERFETTO eventually took advantage of which would have provided MAXIMIZE HEART with clear and uninterrupted running sooner than what it received in this race.
