JOLLY COMPANION (H454): Leaving the 50 Metres raced in restricted room between BEAUTY THUNDER and INCANTO STAR which shifted out slightly. After the event C L Chau reported that the instructions were to go forward. He said his mount jumped only fairly and did not show sufficient pace in the early stages to hold a forward position which he attributed to the "Good to Yielding” track conditions. GOLDEN FRIENDSHIP (K106): Near the 1150 Metres was momentarily crowded by MEGA BONUS which shifted in before being corrected by its rider. Raced wide and without cover from the 600 Metres. After the event L Ferraris reported that his mount failed to handle the "Good to Yielding” track conditions. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GOOD PROSPECT (J406): After travelling a short distance became unbalanced when it bumped with KING ECCELLENTE. Making the turn near the 1000 Metres was steadied when crowded between VULCANUS and FORTUNE RACER which was taken in by MEGA BONUS (Apprentice E C W Wong) which shifted in when not clear. Apprentice Wong was severely reprimanded. After the event A Atzeni reported that his mount travelled satisfactorily in the early stages but when asked for an effort in the Home Straight did not stretch out on the "Good to Yielding” track conditions. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. VULCANUS (J150): After the event K De Melo reported that leaving the 300 Metres his right foot slipped from his stirrup for a short distance before he was able to reposition it into his stirrup. Sent for sampling post-race. FORTUNE RACER (J234): The performance of FORTUNE RACER, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.
