G ONE EXCELLENT and SUPER COMMANDER bumped at the start.
STARRY NIGHT and PACHISI were slow to begin.
ACE TALENT hung out in the middle stages.
CIRCUIT SEVEN raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
After the race, L Ferraris (SUPER COMMANDER) advised that his mount did not show its usual early speed and was unable to lead. He said SUPER COMMANDER did not travel comfortably in the race and finished the race off only fairly although he could not fully test his mount for a short distance near the 100 Metres. A veterinary inspection of SUPER COMMANDER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of SUPER COMMANDER, a last start winner, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, SUPER COMMANDER will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
Also after the race, K Teetan (SERGEANT PEPPER) could offer no explanation for his mount’s disappointing performance. A veterinary inspection of SERGEANT PEPPER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of PACHISI immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported.
A veterinary inspection of ACE TALENT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
GORGEOUS VITALITY, KOWLOON EAST STAR and CIRCUIT SEVEN were sent for sampling.
