PERFECT CHEERS was withdrawn prior to Race 5 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore). Before being allowed to race again, PERFECT CHEERS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. For some distance after the 1200 Metres, KYARA got its head up on a number of occasions when over-racing and awkwardly placed close to the heels of BEAUTY LEAD. NOBLE DELUXE, which was following, was checked away from the heels of KYARA in consequence and approaching the 1000 Metres improved to be racing tight inside the heels of KYARA. Then passing the 1000 Metres, NOBLE DELUXE got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of KYARA. After the 200 Metres, KYARA got its head on the side and shifted out under pressure. Then approaching the 100 Metres, KYARA commenced to lay in, resulting in its rider, W C Marwing, changing his whip into his right hand. Throughout the race, CHATER WAY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of NEW VISION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of NEW VISION, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, NEW VISION will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of VOILE ROUGE immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, VOILE ROUGE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. JUN GONG, FUN RIDER and LITTLE DREAMS were sent for sampling.
