FLYING WROTE (J290): When questioned, Y L Chung stated that his instructions were to hold a forward position either in or behind the lead. He said FLYING WROTE, under its top weight of 135 lbs, did not show sufficient pace in the early stages to do so and as a consequence settled further back in the field than intended. He added that FLYING WROTE was able to finish the race off satisfactorily over the concluding stages and, in his opinion, is now looking to be stepped up in distance for its next race start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. HAPPY SOUL (G249): Jumped awkwardly and then was crowded shortly after the start. GALLANT VALOUR (H323): Bumped at the start. Lay in over the concluding stages, resulting in its rider H Bowman having to correct his mount approaching the finish. Sent for sampling post-race. GET SET WIN (J287): Shortly after the start was steadied to avoid STERLING WONGCHOY which shifted out and away from SO TREASURE despite the efforts of its rider. CAMINO (H231): Over the concluding stages raced tight between TRAVEL GOLF and GALLANT VALOUR which lay in before being corrected by its rider near the finish. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. SO TREASURE (H351): After the race, L Ferraris stated that his mount came under pressure from the 600 Metres and did not finish the race off thereafter. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. RAGNARR (H297): No report. SUPER HIGHWAY (G050): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Noted to have bled from both nostrils and have sustained a wound to the right hind cannon after the race. Before being allowed to race again, SUPER HIGHWAY will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. STERLING WONGCHOY (H273): No report. TRAVEL GOLF (H063): After the race, A Atzeni reported that his instructions were to endeavour to find cover. He said TRAVEL GOLF jumped well tonight and when caught wide in the early stages he elected to allow it to stride forward and race outside the lead to avoid racing wide. He added as a consequence TRAVEL GOLF settled in a more forward position than intended. Sent for sampling post-race. HERO STAR (D033): Bumped at the start. SPICY SO SMART (G203): Jumped awkwardly.
