STORM RUNNER (J452): Shifted in abruptly at the start and was bumped. When questioned Z Purton stated that the intention was to endeavour to hold an on-pace position, preferably with cover. He said after commencing well he was able to settle in a handy position in the early stages but when HAKKA RADIANCE continued forward to race outside the lead STORM RUNNER was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event. When questioned regarding his vigour in the Home Straight, particularly between the 300 Metres and the 200 Metres Z Purton stated that when YEABOI shifted out this resulted in STORM RUNNER wanting to lay out and away from that horse which then restricted his ability to ride his mount with full vigour at that point as his focus was on keeping STORM RUNNER balanced. He added that STORM RUNNER continued to respond to his urgings to the finish of the event and, in his opinion, is looking for additional distance in its races. Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions issued. GOLDEN FAIRY (E448): No report. HAKKA RADIANCE (J105): On jumping was crowded between COLOURFUL BARON and SUPER HONG KONG.

AEROVOLANIC (K400): Between the 150 Metres and the 50 Metres was held up for clear running behind PERIDOT. After being shifted to the inside of PERIDOT near the 50 Metres then could not be fully ridden out when it raced tight to the inside of that runner. After the event C Y Ho reported that his mount jumped only fairly and did not show sufficient pace in the early stages to hold a more forward position. AWESOME TREASURE (E435): No report. BASIC INSTINCT (K289): Near the 900 Metres was crowded. PERIDOT (K148): Near the 900 Metres, PERIDOT, which was racing keenly, got its head up when being steadied to avoid FLASH STAR (R Kingscote) which shifted in when not clear. As a result PERIDOT then shifted out, resulting in ELEGANT LIFE, which was following, having to steady to avoid PERIDOT and ELEGANT LIFE then shifting out. As a result BASIC INSTINCT was crowded and NOBLE FANS steadied when EMBLAZON (C L Chau) shifted in. R Kingscote was severely reprimanded and advised he must ensure he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground. C L Chau was reprimanded for shifting in and contributing to the interference to NOBLE FANS and BASIC INSTINCT. After the event Z Purton could offer no explanation for his mount’s failure to finish the race off in the Home Straight. Sent for sampling post-race. PROUD BOX (K487): No report.

EMBLAZON (K122): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. Sent for sampling post-race. FLASH STAR (K431): After the event R Kingscote stated that it was not the intention to lead.

Between the 400 Metres and the 300 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running. NOBLE FANS (K038): Near the 900 Metres was steadied when crowded. After the event B Avdulla stated that after being steadied near the 900 Metres his mount finished the race off only fairly and may not have appreciated the "Yielding” track conditions. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, NOBLE FANS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. DREAMING WINNER (K046): On jumping made contact with the left side of its starting gate and lost ground. Despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position and became detached from the field. ELEGANT LIFE (J366): Near the 900 Metres was steadied to avoid PERIDOT. When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight L Hewitson stated that after following PERIDOT he initially contemplated improving between PERIDOT and FLASH STAR leaving the 400 Metres. He added that when he was not comfortable there was sufficient room to improve between those two runners he shifted out to follow PERIDOT as he felt that runner, which was a favourite in the event, would provide him with the opportunity to follow it into the race. He said when PERIDOT did not improve as he had expected and AWESOME TREASURE maintained its position to that runner’s outside this resulted in ELEGANT LIFE being badly held up for clear running over the final 400 Metres and not being able to be ridden out to the finish. Having considered Jockey Hewitson’s explanation and whilst he agreed that a run had developed between FLASH STAR and PERIDOT, the Stewards found that the explanation provided was reasonable in the circumstances.

When questioned A Atzeni stated that entering the Back Straight he allowed SUPER UNICORN to improve between KASA PAPA and ALLCASH as he had expected KASA PAPA to shift to the fence. He said when KASA PAPA remained racing one-off SUPER UNICORN, which was travelling only fairly at the time, was crowded by ALLCASH which was positioned tight to the inside of FASHION LEGEND (R Kingscote). R Kingscote was advised to exercise more care. ALLCASH (K190): After the race an endoscopic examination was conducted on ALLCASH at the request of Trainer C S Shum. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, ALLCASH will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Sent for sampling post-race. FASHION LEGEND (J080): After the event R Kingscote stated that his mount was obliged to race wide during the running of the race although it was able to obtain cover.

Between the 400 Metres and the 300 Metres was held up for clear running. WITHOUT DELAY (K262): Jumped only fairly. From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. When questioned J Orman stated that from a wide barrier he rode his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages as instructed. He said making the Home Turn due to the heavy rain he lowered his goggles which provided him with better visibility after the 400 Metres. He added that approaching the 200 Metres when positioned close to NEWBORN MIRACLE he shifted to that runner’s inside but again his visibility was restricted when positioned behind BEAUTY VIVA and as a consequence he could not ride his mount with his usual vigour over the final 200 Metres.
