BEAUTY FLAME was withdrawn on 18.6.16 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore). DOMINEER was also withdrawn on 18.6.16 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (blood abnormality). Before being allowed to race again, BEAUTY FLAME and DOMINEER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. GOLDEN HARVEST and PACKING PINS bumped at the start. From a wide barrier, GIANT TREASURE was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Approaching the 1200 Metres, DIVINE BOY commenced to prove very difficult to settle and shifted out abruptly when being checked away from the heels of PACKING PINS which was being steadied to obtain cover behind REWARDING HERO. When DIVINE BOY shifted out, FREDERICK ENGELS was taken wider. FREDERICK ENGELS was then steadied to obtain cover and near the 1000 Metres got its head up on a number of occasions when travelling keenly and awkwardly placed close to the heels of DIVINE BOY. DIVINE BOY subsequently travelled wide and without cover. REWARDING HERO lost its left hind plate approaching the 1200 Metres. As GIANT TREASURE was attempting to improve to the outside of PACKING PINS, that horse shifted out, resulting in GIANT TREASURE being hampered passing the 300 Metres. As the Stewards were satisfied that GIANT TREASURE had not established running to the outside of PACKING PINS at this stage, no further action was taken. Approaching the 200 Metres, SUN JEWELLERY was bumped by DUNDONNELL which got its head on the side and shifted out. This resulted in SUN JEWELLERY shifting out. When SUN JEWELLERY shifted out, PACKING PINS shifted out away from that horse, resulting in GIANT TREASURE being directed away from the heels of PACKING PINS. Passing the 200 Metres, DASHING FELLOW shifted out abruptly, resulting in DUNDONNELL being inconvenienced. SUN JEWELLERY and DASHING FELLOW were sent for sampling.
