EYE ON YOU was withdrawn on raceday morning by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (colic). Before being allowed to race again, EYE ON YOU will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. KA YING KID, JOYFUL THE GREAT and PSYCHOLOGIST were all crowded for room at the start between THE PRINCE and OVETT which got its head on the side and shifted out after beginning awkwardly. From wide barriers, SPEEDY WINNER and ULTIMATE GLORY were taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Near the 900 Metres, JOYFUL THE GREAT and OVETT bumped, causing both horses to become unbalanced. Making the first turn at the 900 Metres, KA YING KID got its head up when being checked away from the heels of MY LEGEND which shifted in slightly when awkwardly placed inside MULTIEXPRESS. Passing the 900 Metres, when being steadied to obtain cover, DYNAMIC VOYAGE got its head up and made the turn awkwardly. THE PRINCE lost its right front plate passing the 700 Metres. After the 700 Metres, MY LEGEND got its head on the side and shifted out, resulting in WHAT YOU DREAM being awkwardly placed close to the heels of that horse. ABSOLUTE FANTASY and PSYCHOLOGIST were held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight. Near the 250 Metres, KA YING KID was steadied when momentarily crowded for room between GAOLING LUCKY STAR which was giving ground and MY LEGEND which shifted in slightly. Near the 150 Metres, MY LEGEND shifted in under pressure towards the heels of OVETT, resulting in its rider having to stop riding and straighten his mount. Throughout the race, MULTIEXPRESS travelled wide and without cover. After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on DYNAMIC VOYAGE at the request of Trainer C S Shum. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, DYNAMIC VOYAGE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of GAOLING LUCKY STAR immediately following the race revealed the horse to have bled from both nostrils. A veterinary inspection of KA YING KID immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GAOLING LUCKY STAR, MULTIEXPRESS and WHAT YOU DREAM were sent for sampling.
