Passing the 250 Metres was checked to avoid CANDLELIGHT DINNER which, after laying in in the early part of the Home Straight, then shifted out abruptly away from YOUTHFUL SPIRITS as it was being corrected by its rider K Teetan. Sent for sampling post-race. YOUTHFUL SPIRITS (J082): Bumped on the hindquarters at the start. Near the 800 Metres Jockey L Ferraris was required to reposition his foot in the stirrup. Sent for sampling post-race. FAST RESPONDER (J295): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037): Approaching the 350 Metres raced tight to the inside of DO YOUR PART after obtaining a narrow run between DO YOUR PART and CELESTIAL HARMONY. CANDLELIGHT DINNER (J468): Lay in in the early part of the Home Straight and passing the 250 Metres ran out as it was being corrected by its rider. The racing manners of CANDLELIGHT DINNER were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, CANDLELIGHT DINNER will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial where it is required to be ridden out to the finish of that trial. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MIDORI GLORY (J248): Shifted out at the start and was bumped on the hindquarters, resulting in MIDORI GLORY and A Pouchin becoming unbalanced. After the event, A Pouchin reported that his intention was to be more forward in the race, but after jumping awkwardly and becoming unbalanced at the start, his mount settled further back and found it difficult to respond when asked for an effort in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CELESTIAL HARMONY (K059): Shifted in at the start, was bumped and became unbalanced. HEROIC MASTER (G394): On jumping was crowded between CELESTIAL HARMONY and MIDORI GLORY, both of which shifted ground. Approaching the 400 Metres was held up for clear running behind MIDORI GLORY. HAPPY UNITED (H208): No report. DO YOUR PART (J444): On jumping was checked when it shifted in and away from SPORTS LEGEND, resulting in it making contact with the hindquarters of YOUTHFUL SPIRITS.
