KING AL AKBAR was slow to begin and was then hampered shortly after the start by DREAM HORSE which shifted out. MEDIC FORTUNE was unable to obtain clear running in the Straight until near the 250 Metres at which time it was shifted to the outside of OSVALDO into clear running. Throughout the race, MERIDIAN PRIDE travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. When questioned, Y T Cheng (HERO AND GOLD) stated that his mount commenced to hang out making the first turn and continued to do so until after straightening. He said because of the manner in which HERO AND GOLD raced in the middle stages, the horse was then unable to finish off the event. A veterinary inspection of HERO AND GOLD and MERIDIAN PRIDE after the race did not show any significant findings. OSVALDO and MEDIC FORTUNE were sent for sampling.
