RACE 8 (8)

Moderately away from gate 1, raced in midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, peaked early in straight, weakened final furlong.

Incident Report
As K C Leung was unable to fulfil the engagement on MARKWIN due to being overweight, H Bentley was substituted as the rider of that horse. Jockey Leung was fined the sum of $5,000. Near the 100 Metres shifted in and made contact with PRAY FOR MIR. Sent for sampling post-race.

Away with them, raced behind midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, peaked early in straight, weakened thereafter.

Incident Report
Jumped only fairly and then was crowded between MICKLEY and HEALTHY HAPPY, both of which shifted ground. For a short distance near the 250 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running when being shifted to the outside of WONDER KIT. Sent for sampling post-race.

Bumped start, sent forward to take the early lead, headed near 900M, 2nd on turn, peaked early in straight, weakened final 250M. (A minor laceration to the left hock.)

Incident Report
For some distance near the 100 Metres raced in restricted room between FAST NETWORK which shifted out and MARKWIN which shifted in, resulting in PRAY FOR MIR becoming slightly unbalanced.

Average to begin, raced 2 wide towards rear, angled out 500M, one-paced in the run home.

Incident Report
Near the 100 Metres shifted out under pressure and made contact with PRAY FOR MIR. After the event Z Purton stated that from the outside barrier he was given the option of taking up a forward position if his mount commenced well. He said when FAST NETWORK was able to jump well from its starting gates he elected to take advantage of the good start to hold a position outside the lead. Trainer C H Yip confirmed the instructions issued and stated that as the race did not appear to be overly fast he had given Jockey Purton the option of holding a more forward position, particularly due to the horse being up in distance today. Sent for sampling post-race.

Began well from gate 10, tracked leaders on the outside, no cover throughout, hard ridden approaching 300M, hit the front 150M, kept on well but unable to hold off the winner close home.
