SHINING FORTUNE (G252): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 200 Metres was bumped by EXUBERANT which shifted in slightly. VICTORY SCHOLARS (E091): Near the 50 Metres was bumped by KASI FARASI which shifted to the outside of REGENT GLORY. Sent for sampling post-race. EXUBERANT (E282): Sent for sampling post-race. NISHIKADO (H172): For a short distance approaching the 800 Metres raced tight to the inside of SPEEDY SMARTIE when that runner shifted in before being corrected by its rider L Hewitson. Then raced wide and without cover from the 800 Metres. HAPPY TRIO (G244): Near the 500 Metres improved to the inside of NISHIKADO and then was steadied away from the heels of that runner. Sent for sampling post-race. FLYING ON THE TURF (C477): After the 500 Metres was taken wider when EXUBERANT shifted out to improve. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PODIUM (H173): Approaching the 300 Metres became held up behind SO AWESOME for a short distance and was then shifted to the inside of that runner. Then had difficulty obtaining clear running behind KASI FARASI until near the 250 Metres. Over the final 50 Metres could not be fully ridden out to the finish when improving into a run to the inside of VICTORY SCHOLARS and behind KASI FARASI.
