PACKING TREADMILL (G161): Near the 200 Metres was brushed by REWARDING TOGETHER which lay in and away from BUNDLE OF CHARM. FLYING ACE (G045): Slow to begin and then from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE (H093): Sent for sampling post-race. INVINCIBLE SAGE (H301): Jumped awkwardly and then from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Lay in approaching the 150 Meres and was bumped. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. Sent for sampling post-race. GOOD LUCK FRIEND (D228): Near the 900 Metres was steadied to avoid LUCKY ENCOUNTER (A Atzeni) which shifted in when not clear. A Atzeni was reprimanded. At the 900 Metres was again steadied away from LUCKY ENCOUNTER. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BEAUTY CHARGE (G231): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. At the 900 Metres was taken wider by GALAXY PATCH. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MAJESTIC KNIGHT (G258): Crowded at the 900 Metres. Between the 350 Metres and the 250 Metres was held up for clear running between HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE and LUCKY ENCOUNTER. Over the concluding stages was held up behind LUCKY ENCOUNTER and could not be ridden out to the finish. After the race, H Bentley stated that his intention was to lead the event, but after being slow to begin, MAJESTIC KNIGHT settled further back than he was instructed. REWARDING TOGETHER (D334): No report. WE ARE HERO (G207): When the pace steadied at the 900 Metres improved to the inside of GOOD LUCK FRIEND where there was not sufficient room, resulting in WE ARE HERO being badly crowded, having to be checked and making contact with MAJESTIC KNIGHT. Held up for clear running between the 400 Metres and the 250 Metres. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BUNDLE OF CHARM (G213): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. ASTROLOGER (G102): B Thompson was reminded of his obligation not to use the whip on a horse which was out of contention. LUCKY ENCOUNTER (H274): When the pace steadied at the 900 Metres was awkwardly placed behind REWARDING TOGETHER and was steadied away from the heels of that runner. Approaching the 150 Metres became unbalanced when bumped by GALAXY PATCH which shifted in abruptly before being corrected by its rider K Teetan.
