CALIFORNIA DEEPLY (G451): No report. ENDEARED (H161): Near the 500 Metres was bumped and taken wider. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. WRITTEN CASA (J305): Near the 500 Metres was bumped and taken wider by CLASSIC CENTURY which shifted out to improve. CLASSIC CENTURY (J440): Shifted out near the 500 Metres and was bumped. DRALA (J376): No report. LOVING VIBES (J359): After the event, C Y Ho stated that it was not his intention to hold a forward position, but after jumping only fairly, he rode his mount along in an endeavour to hold a competitive position. He said after improving to the outside of CLASSIC CENTURY and then THRIVING BROTHERS, he was obliged to continue to improve forward to avoid racing wide. He said as a consequence LOVING VIBES settled more forward than anticipated. He added that his mount raced greenly and on the Home Turn shifted out and away from REWARDING TWINKLE and made contact with THRIVING BROTHERS. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. REWARDING TWINKLE (J368): Jumped only fairly. MASTER OF ALL (H177): Near the 900 Metres was steadied away from AWESOME TREASURE (Apprentice P N Wong) which, after shifting in to the lead when not quite clear, then eased the pace. Apprentice Wong was advised in similar circumstances she must ensure that she is sufficiently clear of runners to her inside before she eases the pace of the event. Sent for sampling post-race. RUN RUN COOL (E322): After the 450 Metres was shifted to the outside of WRITTEN CASA to secure clear running and then raced tight between WRITTEN CASA and CAPITAL LEGEND for some distance thereafter. CIRCUIT MAXIMUS (J347): Jumped only fairly. After the 200 Metres was shifted to the outside of REWARDING TWINKLE to continue into clear running. GANGNAM STAR (H326): For some distance approaching the 900 Metres raced ungenerously when racing tight to the inside of CAPITAL LEGEND. After the event, A Badel reported that his mount resented racing amongst horses and in the Home Straight responded only fairly to his riding. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
