YOUNG ACHIEVER (J291): Noted to have blood at the left nostril on arrival at the Start, was examined by the Veterinary Officer and found suitable to race. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination revealed that the blood was emanating from the nose and not the lungs and as such the horse was deemed not to have bled. BEAUTY CRESCENT (H334): Sent for sampling post-race. FLYING FORTRESS (J445): Jumped only fairly. When questioned H Bentley stated that after being crossed by SOUTH STAR when the pace of the race eased his mount commenced to race keenly and was checked to avoid SOUTH STAR near the 1100 Metres. He added that in this incident FLYING FORTRESS struck the heels of SOUTH STAR. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GHORGAN (K199): Raced keenly in the early stages and got its head up when being steadied to avoid DRAGON JOY near the 1000 Metres. GHORGAN continued to race keenly and near the 750 Metres was steadied away from DRAGON JOY. Had some difficulty obtaining clear running leaving the 350 Metres. ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039): In the early stages raced keenly and leaving the 1100 Metres was steadied away from FLYING FORTRESS. Again approaching the 900 Metres ARMOUR WAR EAGLE was steadied when positioned close to GHORGAN. After the event B Avdulla reported that his mount raced too keenly in the early and middle stages, particularly when the pace steadied leaving the 1100 Metres. He added that, in this opinion, this was the principal reason that ARMOUR WAR EAGLE finished the race off only fairly in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. REFUSETOBEENGLISH (K362): Raced very wide and without cover for the majority of the event. SOUTH STAR (K153): When questioned Z Purton stated that in the early stages he endeavoured to obtain a position with cover behind DRAGON JOY. He said when the pace of the event eased leaving the 1100 Metres he was unable to obtain cover and when SOUTH STAR then commenced to race keenly he allowed it to stride forward and race outside the leader BEAUTY CRESCENT. Noted to have lost its right hind plate and sustained minor abrasions to the right hind leg after the race. Sent for sampling post-race. DRAGON JOY (J278): No report. SPIRIT OF PEACE (K007): Jumped awkwardly. Leaving the 800 Metres was steadied to avoid TOP TIME which gave ground when positioned close to COPARTNER FLEET. FAMILY KNIGHT (K490): Raced keenly in the early stages. COPARTNER FLEET (K342): No report. WE CAN PARTY (J341): Slow to begin. SUPREME MASTERMIND (K387): Jumped awkwardly. TOP TIME (K006): No report.
