HUGE WAVE (J197): Shortly after the start was bumped. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. ALL IS GOOD (G269): Crowded at the start and became unbalanced. After this incident, despite being ridden along in the early stages was unable to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position. VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (J079): Jumped awkwardly, resulting in it shifting in and making contact with ALL IS GOOD. Crowded on two occasions near the 900 Metres. SUPERB KID (H298): Near the 900 Metres SUPERB KID and VIVA GRACIOUSNESS were steadied when crowded by SUNNY DARLING (Apprentice Y L Chung) which, after initially shifting in, was then corrected by its rider. A short distance later, BEAUTY FIT (A Hamelin) shifted in, taking SUNNY DARLING in and again crowding VIVA GRACIOUSNESS and SUPERB KID. Both Apprentice Chung and A Hamelin were reprimanded. Near the 400 Metres raced tight between ORIENTAL SMOKE and VIVA GRACIOUSNESS and as a result made contact with ORIENTAL SMOKE. Sent for sampling post-race. CITY THUNDER (J173): Crowded shortly after the start. LEEDOX (J154): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. ORIENTAL SMOKE (E467): Bumped near the 400 Metres. BEAUTY FIT (E279): No report. SATIRICAL FAN (J214): Jumped only fairly and then was crowded shortly after the start by CITY THUNDER which was positioned tight to the inside of BEAUTY FIT. The performance of SATIRICAL FAN, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, SATIRICAL FAN 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 immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SUNNY DARLING (J171): No report. BEAUTY MISSILE (H123): Sent for sampling post-race. MIDORI BURLY (J083): Jumped awkwardly and then from the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After improving to the inside of ALL IS GOOD after the 600 Metres was then steadied when briefly crowded by ALL IS GOOD which shifted in. From the 400 Metres was held up for clear running and then was shifted to the outside where it secured a clear run approaching the 200 Metres.
