Trainer W Y So was fined the sum of $2,000 for incorrectly declaring T H So as the rider of MASTER COMMANDER when C Schofield had been engaged to ride the horse. TRAVEL NUMBER ONE and VICTORY DUKE both lost its left front plate on jumping. As the start was effected, SOARING WYVERN lifted its front feet off the ground and consequently was slow to begin. TRAVEL NUMBER ONE began only fairly and shortly after the start was steadied when crowded for room between SHOWING CHARACTER which shifted in after being bumped by MASTER COMMANDER and GOLDEN GUNNERS which was taken out marginally by ADVENTURER. Over the final 400 Metres, SOARING WYVERN shifted ground on a number of occasions when racing greenly. Passing the 300 Metres, TRAVEL NUMBER ONE momentarily raced tight outside SHOWING CHARACTER which was taken out by MASTER COMMANDER. ART OF SUCCESS lay out under pressure over the final 200 Metres. A veterinary inspection of WILD FIVE, which was eased down over the final 200 Metres, immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. A veterinary inspection of MASTER COMMANDER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. ADVENTURER and LOVE SHOCK were sent for sampling.
