SUPER WIN DRAGON (E253): Near the 900 Metres when being ridden along lay in and after being crossed by JOLLY COMPANION then was steadied to avoid that runner’s heels. Then raced keenly for some distance thereafter. VIVA CHALEUR (G368): Jumped awkwardly and blundered and then was bumped shortly after the start. After the race, L Ferraris stated that his mount enjoyed a good run in the event but was disappointing in its failure to respond in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SUPER FORTUNE (G065): Bumped after the 400 Metres. After the race, M F Poon reported that his mount did not appreciate being taken on for the lead when crossed by BEAUTY WAVES and this was the principal reason for its disappointing performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MODULECONSTRUCTION (H127): On straightening was briefly held up for clear running behind BEAUTY WAVES before shifting to the outside of that runner after the 400 Metres and in doing so made contact with SUPER FORTUNE. Inside the 50 Metres was steadied when crowded by MUGEN (K Teetan) which shifted in before being corrected by its rider. K Teetan was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

CHAMPION METHOD (H366): After the race A Atzeni reported that his mount was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event and on the Home Turn was taken wider by RED ELEGANCE. He added as a result CHAMPION METHOD gave ground under pressure in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. RED ELEGANCE (H241): Jumped awkwardly and shifted out. After the race, K De Melo reported that his mount dipped on a number of occasions in the Home Straight and hung out on the Home Turn.
