REACH GOAL and SERANGOON jumped awkwardly and lost ground. ENTRUSTED blundered on jumping and then shifted in, making contact with PAKISTAN FRIEND. Approaching the 1400 Metres, CYBER PATCH shifted out despite the efforts of its rider, resulting in SMILING COLLECTOR being taken wider. SMILING COLLECTOR made the turn near the 800 Metres awkwardly and got its head up. From the 400 Metres, REACH GOAL was held up behind PAKISTAN FRIEND and did not obtain clear running until passing the 200 Metres when it shifted to the outside of PAKISTAN FRIEND to do so. For some distance near the 100 Metres, SMILING COLLECTOR raced tight to the inside of PAKISTAN FRIEND which shifted in. Over the final 100 Metres, GO GO SIXTEEN became held up for clear running behind FOREVER GLORIOUS and as a consequence could not be ridden out to the finish of the event. PAKISTAN FRIEND raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. After the race, K Teetan (LOOKING COOL) reported that his mount was reluctant to proceed between runners over the concluding stages and would derive benefit from today’s performance. A veterinary inspection of LOOKING COOL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of SERANGOON and ENTRUSTED immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PAKISTAN FRIEND and LUCKY ETERNITY were sent for sampling.
