Racing Incident Report
Race Four: (24) - BIG WAVE BAY HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1650Meters
On arrival at the track, it was noted that RIGHT CHOICE had sustained a minor cut to the right hip in transit.
RIGHT CHOICE was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.
On arrival at the Start, it was noted that HARMONY HERO had lost its left front plate.
After this plate was refitted, HARMONY HERO was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.
MISSION TYCOON shifted in at the start and bumped HARMONY HERO.
HELENE CHARISMA began only fairly.
Shortly after the start, RIGHT CHOICE (U Rispoli), which was being ridden along, shifted in and bumped GREEN LUCK.
After this, GREEN LUCK was shifted across behind runners.
RIGHT CHOICE was then ridden along for a considerable distance, however, failed to muster speed.
U Rispoli reported that despite being hard ridden for the majority of the race, RIGHT CHOICE did not show any speed and in the middle stages became somewhat detached from the field.
He said when GREEN LUCK commenced to improve passing the 700 Metres, he rode RIGHT CHOICE aggressively in an attempt to follow that horse forward, however, RIGHT CHOICE would not respond and it was not until the concluding stages that the horse commenced to make any ground.
He added after its barrier trial in the lead up to tonight's race, he had suggested to connections that RIGHT CHOICE may be better suited in races of longer than the distance of tonight's race and based on the manner in which RIGHT CHOICE performed tonight, in his opinion, this confirmed that RIGHT CHOICE would appreciate a step up in distance.
LITTERATEUR travelled keenly approaching and passing the winning post on the first occasion.
After entering the Straight, DOCTOR GEOFF got its head on the side and hung in and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of CIRCUIT GLORY passing the 300 Metres.
When questioned, A Domeyer stated that he was instructed to obtain a forward position on MISSION TYCOON and lead the race outright if possible.
He said after beginning well on MISSION TYCOON, he allowed his mount to improve its position passing the 1300 Metres where both DOCTOR GEOFF and CIRCUIT GLORY improved to the outside of MISSION TYCOON.
He said he was aware that CIRCUIT GLORY would be ridden forward to cross DOCTOR GEOFF and therefore he allowed MISSION TYCOON more rein so as to ensure that CIRCUIT GLORY did not race on terms with his mount.
He said he commenced to steady MISSION TYCOON after the 1000 Metres, however, CIRCUIT GLORY commenced to improve closer to MISSION TYCOON near the 900 Metres which resulted in his mount wanting to travel keener than he had anticipated.
He said he attempted to steady the tempo on MISSION TYCOON without allowing CIRCUIT GLORY to improve its position around his mount, however, MISSION TYCOON continued to travel strongly and this resulted in the middle section of the race being run at a faster tempo than hoped.
He said because of this MISSION TYCOON was then not able to finish off the race.
A veterinary inspection of MISSION TYCOON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of DOCTOR GEOFF immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
GREEN LUCK and HELENE CHARISMA were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Green Luck quickened nicely to win going away 150m out in a track record time after taking off from near the back at the 600m. He loves this Valley trip. Helene Charisma came on nicely travelling worse than midfield along the fence to grab second 100m out. He was suited by the pace but it was a good effort first-up and is more effective over a longer trip. Harmony Hero stayed on well to make it close for second after a rail run three back on the fence. It was another honest effort up in grade off a light weight. Punted late Enrichment got going late from near the back to snatch fourth. It was a pleasing effort but he doesn't have much upside off his current mark. Doctor Geoff came up flat inside the last 150m after deciding to chase a good pace. He's more effective over the 1,800m. Circuit Glory was stopping 150m out after rushing forward to pester Mission Tycoon for the front. He had a hard run but doesn't have much room to climb higher.
