BLAZING PASS proved difficult to load. Before being allowed to race again, BLAZING PASS will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. After being loaded, EASTERN EXPRESS became fractious, reared and momentarily got its right front leg over the stall partition. EASTERN EXPRESS was removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. Before being allowed to race again, EASTERN EXPRESS will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. GENERAL OF PATCH and LUCKY GIFT were slow to begin. JIMSON THE FAMOUS began awkwardly and lost ground. Near the 900 Metres, SUPER DRAGON shifted in away from the heels of HAPPY CHAPPY, resulting in GENERAL OF PATCH being inconvenienced. Near the 700 Metres, BLAZING PASS was hampered and lost ground when bumped by CLASSIC EMPEROR which was awkwardly placed inside EASTERN EXPRESS which shifted ground. At the 500 Metres, SUPER DRAGON became unbalanced after being galloped on by GENERAL OF PATCH. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that SUPER DRAGON had sustained a wound to the outside of the left hind cannon. During the race, SUPER DRAGON raced greenly and approaching and passing the 300 Metres got its head on the side and lay in. Near the 150 Metres, SUPER DRAGON was then shifted to the inside of GENERAL OF PATCH. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that HAPPY CHAPPY had sustained a wound to the inside of the left hind leg. GENERAL OF PATCH, HAPPY CHAPPY and HIGHLAND HAMMER were sent for sampling.
