CHAMPION SUPREME stood flat-footed at the start and lost a significant amount of ground. Before being allowed to race again, CHAMPION SUPREME will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial. From wide barriers, SUPER BUDDY and CASIMIRO were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching and passing the 1200 Metres, BEAUTY FIT, which was travelling keenly, was awkwardly placed behind SHINY ONE. At the entrance to the Straight, HELENA BABY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of HEAVENLY THOUGHT when held up behind that horse. HELENA BABY then improved into tight running inside HEAVENLY THOUGHT passing the 400 Metres. Passing the 300 Metres, SUPER BUDDY was shifted out away from the heels of BUNDLE OF DELIGHT. Throughout the race, CHANCHENG PRINCE travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. A veterinary inspection of CHANCHENG PRINCE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of SHINY ONE, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, SHINY ONE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of SHINY ONE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on BUNDLE OF DELIGHT at the request of Trainer D J Hall. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, BUNDLE OF DELIGHT will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. ULTRA EXPRESS and SERIOUS LIAISON were sent for sampling.
