RACE 4: GREAT NORTHERN BREWERY BM55 HANDICAP 1500 Metres

Lloyd (CHEERFUL CAT) and reviewing the patrol footage, it was established that approaching the 1300m, FROTHSAY shifted out, bumping with PLANNED ENCOUNTER, which was over racing despite the efforts of its rider, resulting in PLANNED ENCOUNTER racing in restricted room, shifting out marginally carrying TORVERCCHIO wider. At this point CHEERFUL CAT, which was improving wider on the track toward a forward position, shifted in when insufficiently clear of TORVECCHIO causing that runner to check from heels.
