HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203): Near the 350 Metres was shifted out to improve and made contact with STAR PERFORMER. Sent for sampling post-race. LUCKY TWENTY (K392): On jumping was crowded between DAY DAY VICTORY and LEAN MASTER which shifted out, resulting in LUCKY TWENTY becoming unbalanced. J Orman reported that he was able to take up an on-pace position as he had been instructed. He said in the Home Straight his mount did not respond to his riding and the only explanation he could offer was that when the horse won its first race start on 9 July 2025 it was advantaged by being able to obtain a position on the running rail. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LEAN MASTER (H134): Jumped awkwardly, shifted out and made contact with LUCKY TWENTY, resulting in LEAN MASTER becoming unbalanced.
