Over the concluding stages raced tight to the inside of GLORY B and approaching the winning post was steadied when crowded by GLORY B (K De Melo). K De Melo was advised to exercise more care. GOLDEN LUCK (H159): After the race, L Hewitson stated that GOLDEN LUCK was advantaged at its last start by being able to hold the lead without being pressured, but tonight was not able to hold the lead and consequently did not finish the race off.

YEE CHEONG RAIDER (J176): Jumped only fairly, shifted out and made heavy contact with the hindquarters of RUN RUN COOL. YODA'S CHOICE (J146): After the race, K Teetan reported that his mount raced greenly under pressure which restricted his ability in riding it out fully in the Home Straight. GLORY B (H373): Jumped awkwardly and then was bumped.
