SUPER CLASS shifted in at the start and bumped RAGING BLAZE. GOLD GOLD BABY began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped SHANGHAI POWER which became unbalanced. DAY DAY RICH began only fairly and then was checked on jumping when crowded for room between WINS ALL which was taken out by SIMPLE DOCTRINE and HANDSOME VEGGIE (L Currie) which became badly unbalanced and was checked when crowded for room inside GOODMANSHIP which shifted in abruptly at the start despite the efforts of its rider. Because of this incident, DAY DAY RICH raced back in the field tonight. After the race, L Currie stated that after being checked HANDSOME VEGGIE was reluctant to stride out throughout. A veterinary inspection of HANDSOME VEGGIE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. From a wide barrier, THIS IS GUTS was steadied on jumping and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. After the 700 Metres, DAY DAY RICH was checked away from the heels of GOLD GOLD BABY. Throughout the race, DIAMOND SOARS travelled wide and without cover. After the race, S De Sousa reported that SUPER CLASS did not feel comfortable in its action over the concluding stages when giving ground. A veterinary inspection of SUPER CLASS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Before being allowed to race again, SUPER CLASS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Also after the race, Z Purton was unable to offer an explanation for the disappointing performance of WINS ALL. He said after being ridden along in the early stages to obtain a forward position, WINS ALL travelled satisfactorily in the middle stages, however, came under pressure prior to the Home Turn and then was disappointing in its failure to finish the race off. A veterinary inspection of WINS ALL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of SHANGHAI POWER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WINS ALL, GOLD GOLD BABY and RAGING BLAZE were sent for sampling.
