G LINER (H072): Jumped only fairly. The performance of G LINER, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, G LINER 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 immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. CONSPIRATOR (K090): The performance of CONSPIRATOR, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, CONSPIRATOR 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 immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WONDERSTAR (J531): When questioned C L Chau stated that the intention was to lead the event but not to push his mount in the early stages to do so as WONDERSTAR had raced too keenly in the lead at its most recent start. He said after commencing well he allowed WONDERSTAR to obtain the lead without pressuring his mount to do so. He said in the early stages WONDERSTAR then commenced to race keenly and whilst he was aware that his mount was running inside of standard time he was unable to set a slower pace as his mount was racing too keenly. He added from the 800 Metres WONDERSTAR came under pressure before giving ground in the Home Straight. He said he had recommended to connections to remove the blinkers from WONDERSTAR should the horse continue to race over the 1650 Metres. FLOOF (H432): No report. CHARMING STEED (E494): Sent for sampling post-race. MATTERS MOST (K154): Jumped only fairly. PRECISION GOAL (H016): No report. FASHION LEGEND (J080): When questioned A Atzeni stated that the intention was to hold an on-pace position. He said in the early stages when WONDERSTAR set a fast early pace he was awkwardly placed at the front of the main body of the field which made it difficult to judge the pace upon which the race was being run. He said when WONDERSTAR continued to maintain its sizeable lead in the middle stages he encouraged his mount forward in an endeavour to make up some ground on that runner. He said after considering the sectional times of the event and the times upon which FASHION LEGEND had run, A Atzeni agreed with the Stewards that in retrospect he would have been better suited by riding his mount in a more conservative manner in the middle stages to provide FASHION LEGEND with an opportunity to finish the race off in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Sent for sampling post-race. FOREVER FOLKS (G463): No report. SPANGLE FORTUNE (G427): No report. MEEPMEEP (H234): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 150 Metres was shifted to the outside of FASHION LEGEND to continue into clear running. Sent for sampling post-race. VIVA CHALEUR (G368): No report. LUCKY IMPACT (J337): Bounded on jumping and lost ground. Lay out making the Home Turn and in the Home Straight. PHANTOM CYCLONE (J271): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
