COLONEL (D090): Sent for sampling post-race. KING INVINCIBLE (H199): After the race, K C Leung reported that his mount raced keenly in the middle stages and after being steadied away from the heels of COLONEL near the 650 Metres was shifted to a three wide position. He added that in the Home Straight KING INVINCIBLE failed to respond to his riding. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. MR GOOD VIBES (H180): Jumped only fairly and from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Sent for sampling post-race. TACTICAL COMMAND (H197): A Badel was fined the sum of $2,000 for failing to present himself in the Parade Ring by the required time. Sent for sampling post-race. COMMANDING MISSILE (G210): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. HAPPY TANGO (D075): Near the 300 Metres was bumped. Over the concluding stages was crowded between COLONEL and TACTICAL COMMAND which shifted out. JAZZ CLUB (G285): For some distance approaching the 300 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running. MULTIMORE (D443): No report. THE GOOD DEAL (G025): Approaching the 250 Metres became held up for clear running behind MULTIMORE which was giving ground and did not obtain clear running until the 150 Metres. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GREAT DAYS (H119): Near the 300 Metres was bumped. After the race, A Hamelin reported that his mount raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages and was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight.

Before being allowed to race again, GREAT DAYS will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. HAPPILY FRIENDS (C533): Jumped only fairly and then was briefly crowded shortly after the start. GOOD VIEW GLORY (H154): On arrival at the Start, Z Purton expressed concern with the horse’s action.
