OWNERS’ STAR was slow to begin. From a wide barrier, LEATHER MASTER was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. SUPERB DADDY (K Teetan) was unable to improve its position from the 600 Metres when held up before being shifted to the outside of MIGHTY STAR near the 500 Metres to obtain clear running. After the race, K Teetan explained that his mount was not suited by the slow early pace of today’s race. A veterinary inspection of SUPERB DADDY immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in its trachea and also found the horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. MIGHTY STAR raced wide and without cover throughout the race. After the race, H Bowman (LOYAL AMBITION) explained that he was instructed to ride his mount where comfortable, however, was not suited by the slow early pace of the race. Trainer C Fownes confirmed the instructions issued. A veterinary inspection of LOYAL AMBITION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SPLENDID STAR and JOYFUL CHAMPION were sent for sampling.

HAPPY FOR ALL, STRIVE FOR GLORY and YEE CHEONG SPIRIT were slow to begin. ALWAYS AWESOME jumped only fairly. A short distance after the start, MULTIDARLING was bumped and got unbalanced by REGENT GLORY which shifted in and away from THE GOOD DEAL. In this incident, STRIVE FOR GLORY was also steadied. ALWAYS AWESOME was unable to improve its position after passing the 500 Metres and raced in restricted room for some distance before being put under pressure near the 300 Metres. TRAVEL GOLF was held up passing the 400 Metres and continued to be held up until being put under pressure near the 200 Metres. REGENT GLORY was also held up after passing the 400 Metres and failed to obtain clear running from that point. Then near the 50 Metres, REGENT GLORY was checked to avoid causing interference to DIAMOND FLARE and at the same time avoid the heels of SWEET DIAMOND and subsequently was not fully tested over the concluding stages. After the race, A Badel (SAVVY DELIGHT) was of the view that the horse would derive benefit from its first up run today. A veterinary inspection of SAVVY DELIGHT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Also after the race, Z Purton (RUBY SAILING) could offer no excuse for his mount’s performance today. RUBY SAILING, SPARKLING DOLPHIN and STRIVE FOR GLORY were sent for sampling.

On arrival at the Start, it was noted that BEATO had blood in its mouth. BEATO was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. KARMA and PERFETTO were slow to begin. CAPTAIN HURRICANE and LUCKY PLANET jumped awkwardly and then bumped together. Near the 1200 Metres, PERFETTO was eased to avoid the heels of KARMA which, whilst shifting in, was also taken in by DIVINE ERA (K C Leung) before that horse was straightened. K C Leung was advised to exercise more care. Near the 1000 Metres, DIVINE ERA, which was pulling hard, shifted out abruptly, hampering GOLDEN BULL by forcing that horse wider. DIVINE ERA then raced wide and without cover from the 900 Metres. The Stewards were satisfied that the racing manners of DIVINE ERA were the main contributor to this particular incident, therefore no further action was taken. Passing the 150 Metres, BEATO, which was making ground, had some difficulty obtaining clear running when racing in restricted room between DIVINE ERA and GOLDEN BULL. After the race, H Bentley (HOLY LAKE) reported that from a wide barrier he was obliged to ride his mount back in the field, however, at no stage during the event did it travel comfortably. A veterinary inspection of HOLY LAKE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of LUCKY PLANET and BAEBAE TSOI immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. EVER BLESSING, KARMA and ARIEL were sent for sampling.

As C L Chau was unable to fulfil the engagement on I CAN due to being overweight, K Teetan was substituted as the rider of that horse. C L Chau was fined the sum of $5,000. After being loaded into the barriers, I CAN became fractious. Before being allowed to race again, I CAN will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. LET’S DO IT was slow to begin. From wide barriers, COMET SPLENDIDO and LUCKY GOLD were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After passing the 500 Metres, BLUE MARLIN (H Bentley) shifted out from behind MAJESTIC COLOUR to obtain clear running and in doing so made contact with I CAN, resulting in that horse becoming unbalanced and being forced wider. H Bentley was severely reprimanded and advised that in similar circumstances he needs to show more care when endeavouring to put his mounts into clear running. Over the concluding stages, LET’S DO IT was shifted in abruptly when making ground to avoid the heels of OUTGATE. HYPER DRAGON BALL lay in under pressure in the Home Straight. I CAN raced wide and without cover throughout the race. After the race, both H Bowman (MAJESTIC COLOUR) and Z Purton (HYPER DRAGON BALL) could offer no explanation for their mounts’ performance. A veterinary inspection of MAJESTIC COLOUR and HYPER DRAGON BALL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Also after the race, B Avdulla (CIRCUIT MIGHTY) explained that he was obliged to settle his mount further back than he had intended in an effort to gain cover, however, CIRCUIT MIGHTY did not travel comfortably in the middle stages before making ground in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection of CIRCUIT MIGHTY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of I CAN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BLUE MARLIN and OUTGATE were sent for sampling.
