SWEET ENCOUNTER (G426): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After the race, Z Purton stated that his mount, which was racing at Happy Valley for the first time, was not comfortable racing around the circuit. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PERFECT TEAM (H120): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 1300 Metres was bumped by C P BRAVE when that runner was racing tight to the inside of QUANTUM PATCH. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BEAUTY MISSILE (H123): After the race, A Atzeni stated that his mount was under pressure from the 600 Metres, failed to respond to his riding from that point and gave ground noticeably in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of BEAUTY MISSILE, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, BEAUTY MISSILE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. TOURBILLON PRINCE (H122): After the race, C L Chau reported that his mount travelled comfortably in the lead, but from the 500 Metres came under pressure when challenged by FRANTANCK and did not finish the race off from that point. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. The performance was considered to be disappointing as compared to its previous starts. Before being allowed to race again, TOURBILLON PRINCE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Sent for sampling post-race. MALDIVES (D329): Jumped awkwardly. Approaching the 400 Metres was steadied away from BEAUTY MISSILE which continued to give ground.
