IMA SINGLE MAN jumped awkwardly and lost ground. DUKE WAI jumped only fairly. ADIOS was held up for clear running between the 350 Metres and the 250 Metres. Over the concluding stages, DUKE WAI was steadied when crowded between REWARDING TOGETHER and COURIER WONDER which shifted in and away from ADIOS. The performance of IMA SINGLE MAN was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, IMA SINGLE MAN will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of IMA SINGLE MAN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. COURIER WONDER, ADIOS and REWARDING TOGETHER were sent for sampling.
