SHAMAL proved difficult to load. Before being allowed to race again, SHAMAL will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. GREEN CARD began only fairly. From the outside barrier, GLOBAL DOMINATION was steadied shortly after the start and shifted across behind runners. Making the turn after the 900 Metres, DIVINE DIYA got its head up on a number of occasions when awkwardly placed close to the heels of WINNING KING. Approaching the 700 Metres, HEALTHY JOYFUL got its head up when being steadied to avoid the heels of WAH MAY BABY (K C Ng) which shifted in when not properly clear. K C Ng was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground. Passing the 500 Metres, HEALTHY JOYFUL was bumped by DIVINE DIYA which shifted out to improve. At the entrance to the Straight, GREEN CARD was shifted out away from the heels of DRAGON MASTER. Passing the 300 Metres, MOMENTUM LUCKY shifted out and bumped MALMSTEEN, causing MALMSTEEN to become unbalanced. Passing the 200 Metres, MOMENTUM LUCKY and MALMSTEEN again raced tight. Near the 50 Metres, MOMENTUM LUCKY got its head on the side and shifted out towards the hindquarters of MALMSTEEN. A veterinary inspection of HEALTHY JOYFUL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MOMENTUM LUCKY, MALMSTEEN and GREEN CARD were sent for sampling.
