SUPER ELITE (H247): Near the 170 Metres bounded over a mark on the track. After the event, H Bowman reported that his mount travelled well during the race, however, when placed under pressure in the Home Straight failed to respond to his riding and recommended it may be better suited being ridden more patiently at its next race start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CHILLI BABA (G339): Jumped only fairly. Near the 400 Metres was shifted to the inside of E GLORY to continue into clear running. SAME TO YOU (H057): Bumped on jumping and then shifted in. After the event, B Avdulla stated that after his mount had difficulty obtaining clear running approaching the 300 Metres between BEAT HOLLOW and SUPER ELITE it then did not finish the race off thereafter and raced in a disappointing manner. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. COMMANDING MISSILE (G210): Sent for sampling post-race. MANYTHANKS FOREVER (J065): No report. E GLORY (H304): From the 400 Metres until the 350 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running when being shifted out. RATTAN WORLD (G384): Shortly after the start was taken out slightly by E GLORY and a short distance later then had to be steadied when crowded by SAME TO YOU which shifted in after making contact with BEAT HOLLOW. HO HO STAR (H291): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. When questioned regarding the performance, Z Purton stated that with the pace of the event being run outside of standard time in the early stages, HO HO STAR raced keenly and got its head up. He said as a consequence when placed under pressure in the Home Straight his mount responded only fairly to his riding. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race. BEAT HOLLOW (G414): Sent for sampling post-race. THE GOOD DEAL (G025): After the event, K Teetan reported that his mount anticipated the start just prior to it being effected and as a result jumped awkwardly and lost ground. A warning was placed on the barrier manners of THE GOOD DEAL and it will be required to undertake a stalls test prior to being allowed to race again. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MORE RICE (H271): Was examined by the Veterinary Officer on arrival at the barriers and found to be lame in its right front leg. Was withdrawn by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice. Before being allowed to race again, MORE RICE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
