GALLANT CROWN (D359): Sent for sampling post-race. TEAM HAPPY (J218): No report. CIRCUIT FIERY (H475): Near the 350 Metres was disappointed for clear running between GALLANT CROWN and SUPERB MOVE which resulted in CIRCUIT FIERY being held up for clear running between the 400 Metres and the 300 Metres. Sent for sampling post-race. LUCKY GOLD (G112): After the event K De Melo stated that after jumping awkwardly and losing ground his mount never travelled throughout the race and finished the race off only fairly. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. FOREMOST TEDDY (J058): Bumped at the start. After the event L Ferraris confirmed that from a wide barrier he was instructed to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages. Trainer C S Shum confirmed the instructions and advised such instructions were issued due to the expected fast pace in the early stages to offset the wide barrier draw. NINJA DERBY (H339): Noted to have blood in the mouth on arrival at the Start. Was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. In the early stages raced keenly and got its head up. BRAVE OF FRIENDS (J382): Shortly after the start was bumped on the hindquarters. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. PERFECTO MOMENTS (J003): Jumped awkwardly and shortly after the start raced tight to the inside of GALLANT CROWN which shifted in slightly. SILVER DESTINY (J096): Crowded shortly after the start by URBAN TRIUMPH which shifted out. For some distance leaving the 1000 Metres raced keenly and was steadied away from PERFECTO MOMENTS. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea and also found the horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. Before being allowed to race again, SILVER DESTINY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. URBAN TRIUMPH (H200): Shifted out at the start and was bumped. TATTENHAM (H121): In the early part of the Home Straight lay in and proved reluctant to shift to the outside of SUPERB MOVE. A Hamelin was warned in relation to using his whip forward of the horse’s shoulder. TSUEN WAN GLORY (E403): Shifted in on jumping and was bumped. After the event M Chadwick stated that from the outside barrier he was obliged to make use of his mount in the early stages to cross to the lead. He said as a consequence the horse was left without a finishing effort when under pressure in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of TSUEN WAN GLORY, a last start winner, was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race start. Before being allowed to race again, TSUEN WAN GLORY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. JOYFUL FRIENDSHIP (H295): No report. SUPERB MOVE (G304): No report.
