DRAGON MASTER shifted out at the start and bumped BIG BANG BONG which in turn shifted out and bumped GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS. OUR HERO began only fairly, shifted out on jumping and bumped the hindquarters of FLYING FORCE. SPEEDY ACHIEVER began awkwardly and shortly after the start was bumped by DIAMOND DRAGON which was taken out by BEAUTY MASTER which got its head on the side and shifted out despite the efforts of its rider. Passing the 300 Metres, DRAGON MASTER was directed in away from the heels of BEAUTY MASTER which shifted in away from WINFULL PATROL. Over the final 200 Metres, WINFULL PATROL raced with its head on the side, lay out and proved difficult to ride. After the race, C Schofield was not able to provide any explanation for the disappointing performance of LOOKS LIKE THE CAT. He said the horse did not travel comfortably at any stage and consequently did not finish off its race. A veterinary inspection of LOOKS LIKE THE CAT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. A veterinary inspection of RED KYLIN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. DRAGON MASTER and BEAUTY MASTER were sent for sampling.
