RED HARE KING (H188): Near the 650 Metres bumped with JUMBO LEGEND after RED HARE KING was shifted to the outside of CAPITAL LEGEND to obtain a position outside that runner.

AESTHETICISM (H289): Shortly after the start shifted in and made contact with the hindquarters of ZOOM BOOM. GLORIOUS JOURNEY (J137): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Was left racing very wide and without cover from the 700 Metres. CAPITAL LEGEND (G333): After the race, C Y Ho reported that his mount travelled well in the lead but failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight.

JUMBO LEGEND (G266): Near the 650 Metres was bumped and raced wide and without cover thereafter.
