From wide barriers, HIGH SPEED METRO and EVERSPRING were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. JOYFUL MISSION lost its left front plate near the 1500 Metres. Near the 950 Metres, JOYFUL MISSION and ENJOY THE GAME raced tight. At the 700 Metres and again approaching the 600 Metres, JOYFUL MISSION and ENJOY THE GAME bumped, causing both horses to become unbalanced. HIGH SPEED METRO, which was following JOYFUL MISSION, was awkwardly placed close to the heels of that horse in consequence. After being held up and unable to improve rounding the Home Turn, SWEET BEAN was shifted out away from the heels of SMART UNION passing the 400 Metres to obtain clear running. WIN CHANCE was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight. GLORIOUS VICTORY was unable to obtain clear running until near the 250 Metres. Passing the 200 Metres, GLORIOUS VICTORY was shifted out away from the heels of SUPER STRIKE. For the majority of the race, ENJOY THE GAME raced wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of HIGH SPEED METRO and EVERSPRING immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WIN CHANCE, SMART GUY and SWEET BEAN were sent for sampling. <18/5/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>EVERSPRING, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time there were no significant findings. EVERSPRING was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer A Lee yesterday morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, EVERSPRING will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
