DREAM PURSUER (G241): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. FLOOF (H432): No report. RUN RUN TIMING (H403): When questioned, H Bentley stated that at its last start from the outside barrier he was asked to ride his mount in a conservative manner due to it stepping up in distance. He said today he was asked to attempt to obtain a midfield position with cover, however, was given the option to settle in a more forward position if cover was not available. He added after commencing well today and with the pace of the event being run outside of standard time, RUN RUN TIMING was able to take up a more forward position than anticipated. STAR LINE (J110): Jumped awkwardly. Raced keenly in the early stages and approaching the 1100 Metres was steadied to avoid PATCH OF TIME. FOOLISH HEART (J054): After the race, K C Leung reported that from the outside barrier he was requested to ride the horse in a conservative manner. Trainer C W Chang confirmed the instructions issued. KYEEMA (J055): Proved difficult to load into the starting gates. Before being allowed to race again, KYEEMA will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. Shifted in at the start and was bumped. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event and then was taken very wide from the 650 Metres when FLOOF shifted out. In this incident, KYEEMA was bumped near the 500 Metres. Bumped approaching the 200 Metres. ENJOY GOLF (J222): H Bowman was harmlessly dislodged from his mount behind the starting gates. ENJOY GOLF was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to start. Sent for sampling post-race. MILES AWAY (J221): No report. HAPPYDEARHAPPYDEER (J002): No report.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PATCH OF TIME (H483): No report. GREAT ACHIEVER (J049): Shifted in shortly after the start and was bumped. Due to the pace of the event being run outside of standard time, GREAT ACHIEVER commenced to over-race near the 900 Metres and got its head up when being steadied away from STAR LINE. Approaching the 200 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running between KYEEMA and FLOOF which shifted out, resulting in GREAT ACHIEVER making contact with KYEEMA. After the race, L Hewitson stated that the instructions were to hold a more forward position, but after being bumped at the start GREAT ACHIEVER settled further back than what had been intended. THE KHAN (H489): Jumped only fairly and from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Due to the pace of the event being run outside of standard time, THE KHAN over-raced in the early and middle stages and near the 900 Metres got its head up when being steadied away from GREAT ACHIEVER. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
