COOL BLUE (H011): Bumped at the start. Near the 200 Metres was briefly held up for clear running behind SUPERB MOVE. RED MAVERICK (J067): After the event, K Teetan reported that his instructions were to endeavour to obtain a midfield position. He said when RED MAVERICK commenced well, he was obliged to allow it to stride forward but the horse raced keenly when positioned outside the lead in the early stages. He said as a consequence RED MAVERICK did not finish the race off in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, RED MAVERICK will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Over the concluding stages could not be ridden out when racing tight between MANYTHANKS FOREVER and COOL BLUE. SUNNY SHINES (H484): Jumped only fairly. Between the 300 Metres and the 150 Metres was held up for clear running behind SUPER GLORY. After the event, M F Poon stated that after being held up in the early part of the Home Straight SUNNY SHINES lost momentum and as a consequence did not finish the race off thereafter.
