COPARTNER PRANCE (H408): Sent for sampling post-race. FLYING DRAGON (E360): Shortly after the start COSMO NAVIGATOR was bumped by SPEEDY SMARTIE and then shifted out away from that runner and when being corrected by its rider made contact with TATTENHAM, resulting in TATTENHAM being taken out and crowding FLYING DRAGON which was checked. Was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the turn near the 600 Metres WIN SPEED lay out, resulting in SPEEDY SMARTIE being taken out and FLYING DRAGON then being steadied to avoid SPEEDY SMARTIE, shifting out and making the turn wide. FLYING DRAGON then lay out in the middle stages and near the 350 Metres was taken wider when bumped by SPEEDY CHARIOT which shifted to the outside of TATTENHAM to improve. SKY SONG (J159): Over the concluding stages was steadied when crowded and as a result could not be ridden out to the finish of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WIN SPEED (J205): Jumped only fairly. Passing the 100 Metres was steadied to avoid ROARING BEBE which shifted in. ROARING BEBE (H105): Jumped awkwardly. Approaching the 1000 Metres was eased when crowded between WIN SPEED and SKY SONG which lay in. COSMO NAVIGATOR (H156): Bumped shortly after the start, shifted out and became unbalanced. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SPEEDY SMARTIE (H108): Crowded shortly after the start. JOYFUL LIFE (H426): Over the concluding stages was crowded and was unable to be ridden out to the finish of the event. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. SPEEDY CHARIOT (H193): Jumped awkwardly and lost ground. TATTENHAM (H121): Crowded shortly after the start. PHILOS (H371): Over the concluding stages SPEEDY SMARTIE (C L Chau) shifted in whilst being ridden along, resulting in JOYFUL LIFE initially shifting in and away from that runner and then being crowded, causing SKY SONG to be steadied when crowded in onto PHILOS which was checked. C L Chau was reprimanded and advised that he must stop riding and straighten his mounts when they shift ground whilst not clear. MY INTELLIGENT (G031): Sent for sampling post-race.
