GOOD TREASURE bounded in the air as the start was effected and made heavy contact with the inside of its gate, resulting in the horse losing ground and B Prebble, its rider, becoming unbalanced. Before being allowed to race again, GOOD TREASURE will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. BERLINI began awkwardly and shortly after the start was shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier. From the outside barrier, MR GINGER was taken across behind runners in the early stages. Near the 1150 Metres, BRAVE BROTHER got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of STRATHEARN (K C Leung) which shifted in when not properly clear. K C Leung was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in future. Approaching the 1000 Metres, DIVINE DIYA was awkwardly placed close to the heels of STRATHEARN. At the 800 Metres, BRAVE BROTHER was crowded for room between DIVINE DIYA and KING OF MONGOLIA which shifted in marginally before being directed back out by its rider. Near the 500 Metres, MR GINGER was checked away from the heels of GOOD TREASURE when taken out by BERLINI which, when improving into tight running between MR GINGER and MIDNITE PROMISE, was then taken out further by MIDNITE PROMISE which shifted to the outside of CASA MASTER. Close to the finishing line, DIVINE DIYA shifted out abruptly away from the heels of DASHING FELLOW. KING OF MONGOLIA, which was racing to the outside of DIVINE DIYA, was shifted away from the heels of that horse in consequence and consequently was not able to be ridden out to the end of the race. SUPER TALENT and DASHING FELLOW were sent for sampling.
