GOLDEN ADDICTION began awkwardly and then shortly after the start was shifted across behind runners. From a wide barrier, DANEWIN EXPRESS was shifted across behind runners in the early stages, however, subsequently travelled wide and without cover when proving difficult to settle. At the entrance to the Straight, DANEWIN EXPRESS raced in restricted room between HAPPY ROCKY and WILLIE INVICTUS which was taken out by WIN IT. Approaching the 400 Metres, HAR HAR CHARMING, which was commencing to give ground, was crowded for room between WIN IT which got its head on the side and lay in and LITTLE DRAGON which shifted out when attempting to improve to the outside of GOODHEART SUCCESS which was shifting to the outside of SUPREME FLIGHT. In the circumstances, no further action was taken. After this HAR HAR CHARMING continued to give ground and finished tailed out. A veterinary inspection of HAR HAR CHARMING immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of HAR HAR CHARMING was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, HAR HAR CHARMING will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Near the 250 Metres, LITTLE DRAGON shifted out and bumped WIN IT. Near the 150 Metres, C Y Ho (WIN IT) dropped his whip. Throughout the race, WIN IT travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of BESPOKE COLLARS immediately following the race revealed the horse to be lame in its right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, BESPOKE COLLARS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. GOODHEART SUCCESS and SUPREME FLIGHT were sent for sampling.
