COMING PATCH (G222): Jumped only fairly. SUNNY DA BEST (J118): Jumped only fairly and then was crowded by SMART FIGHTER which shifted in. Near the 100 Metres was steadied away from VANTASTIC CHOICE when that runner was giving ground. After the race, A Atzeni reported that whilst his preference was to lead the event, he was able to obtain an on-pace position with cover behind the leaders. He added in the Home Straight SUNNY DA BEST failed to respond to his riding and raced in a disappointing manner. Trainer W Y So stated that, in his opinion, SUNNY DA BEST may not have appreciated the "Good to Firm” track conditions but he will now spell the horse having regard to today’s performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of SUNNY DA BEST was considered to be disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, SUNNY DA BEST will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
