GREENWICH (H328): After the race, C L Chau reported that his mount travelled well until put under pressure near the 500 Metres where it failed to respond to his riding.

Before being allowed to race again, GREENWICH will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. CRAZY TREASURE (J063): After the race, L Ferraris reported that his mount, which was having its first race start, would derive benefit from today’s performance.
