QUANTUM PATCH (H166): Shifted in shortly after the start and was bumped. Sent for sampling post-race. STURDY RUBY (H207): Sent for sampling post-race. AMAZING AWARD (J236): Shortly after the start shifted out and away from OUR LUCKY GLORY. From a wide barrier was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. TAKE ACTION (J098): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 200 Metres attempted to obtain a narrow run between SMILING EMPEROR and QUANTUM PATCH where there was not quite sufficient room. When SMILING EMPEROR then shifted out approaching the 150 Metres TAKE ACTION was steadied when disappointed for clear running between SMILING EMPEROR and QUANTUM PATCH. As a consequence TAKE ACTION could not be ridden out over the final 200 Metres. AMAZING GAZE (K444): Shifted out shortly after the start and was bumped. Making the Home Turn was held up for clear running behind ATOMIC BEAUTY. On straightening AMAZING GAZE was shifted to the inside of ATOMIC BEAUTY and STURDY RUBY to obtain clear running. Sent for sampling post-race. SETANTA (G095): Shortly after the start was steadied when crowded between AMAZING GAZE and QUANTUM PATCH, both of which shifted ground. After the event L Ferraris stated that his mount settled back in the field and found it difficult to make up ground in the Home Straight which he attributed to the early stages of the race being run outside of standard time. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. JOYFUL PROSPERITY (H213): Jumped only fairly. From a wide barrier was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. OUR LUCKY GLORY (G292): No report. SUPER PACE (K349): After the event D Probert advised that with his mount stepping up in distance tonight he was asked to take up a forward position. Trainer C Fownes confirmed the instructions issued. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. STORMI (K084): After the event C L Chau reported that his instructions were to endeavour to find cover. He said in the early stages he attempted to obtain a trailing position behind QUANTUM PATCH but when OUR LUCKY GLORY held its position to his inside he was unable to do so and this resulted in STORMI racing very wide and without cover for the majority of the event. SMILING EMPEROR (J371): Near the 1000 Metres was steadied to avoid ATOMIC BEAUTY when racing keenly. A short distance later ATOMIC BEAUTY then shifted out, resulting in SMILING EMPEROR racing wide and without cover thereafter. ATOMIC BEAUTY (H066): After the event A Atzeni could offer no explanation for his mount’s failure to finish the race off in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
