VIVACIOUS WINNER and EMPEROR VICTORY jumped awkwardly and lost ground at the start. JOLLY JOLLY was slow to begin. GARLIC YEAH jumped very awkwardly, became unbalanced and lost ground. Approaching the 800 Metres, VIVACIOUS WINNER raced greenly and was steadied away from the heels of MAGICAL BEAUTY. JOLLY JOLLY, which was racing to the outside of VIVACIOUS WINNER, shifted out away from that horse, resulting in CLEVER SPIRIT being hampered. For some distance after leaving the 900 Metres, DIAMOND MASTER raced fiercely and refused to settle. After the 200 Metres, EMPEROR VICTORY lay in under pressure. LONDON CITY travelled wide and without cover for the majority of the race. SHARP HUNTER was also obliged to race wide and without cover throughout the race. A veterinary inspection of OCTAL LUCK immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of OCTAL LUCK, which weakened badly in the Straight and subsequently finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, OCTAL LUCK will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. FABULOUS ONE and JOLLY JOLLY were sent for sampling.
