HARMONY N BLESSED (E061): No report. ATOMIC FORCE (G221): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LIGHTNING BOLT (G130): Near the 450 Metres made slight contact with ROMANTIC NOVELIST when both runners shifted ground slightly, resulting in LIGHTNING BOLT becoming unbalanced and losing ground. Over the concluding stages lay in, resulting in its rider H Bowman having to stop riding and straighten his mount approaching the winning post. As a consequence, LIGHTNING BOLT could not be ridden out to the finish of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. COLOURFUL EMPEROR (H167): Near the 300 Metres was bumped by ACT OF FAITH, resulting in its rider Apprentice Y L Chung having to straighten his mount. Sent for sampling post-race. ACT OF FAITH (H082): Approaching the 300 Metres made contact with COLOURFUL EMPEROR when being shifted out to obtain a narrow run between HARMONY N BLESSED and COLOURFUL EMPEROR. As a result, ACT OF FAITH then raced tight between those runners for a short distance thereafter. Sent for sampling post-race. BEAUTY GLORY (E459): Slow to begin and then was crowded by ATOMIC FORCE which shifted out. Over the concluding stages could not be ridden out to the finish when held up behind HARMONY N BLESSED. MEGA BONUS (E184): Jumped only fairly. ROMANTIC NOVELIST (J167): Jumped awkwardly and lost ground. Approaching the 300 Metres blundered. Approaching the 150 Metres was disappointed for clear running between MEGA BONUS and LUCKY ARCHANGEL and was then shifted to the outside of MEGA BONUS where it secured clear running.
