Average to begin, raced 2 wide in midfield, 3 lengths or so back, angled out after passing 400M, very wide turning in, kept on same pace in straight.

Incident Report
When questioned regarding the improved performance Trainer C W Chang stated that at its most two recent starts he had requested R Kingscote to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages as it had been racing in a disappointing manner at its previous race starts. He added to assist the horse in settling he had applied a hood and shadow roll to the horse. He said after performing disappointingly on 15 March 2026 he removed the hood and shadow roll and had instructed M F Poon tonight to go forward from its outside barrier. He said CASA OF HONOR continued to please him in the stable and attributed tonight’s performance to the horse jumping well and holding an on-pace position during the race.
