After being loaded, FAIRY EAGLE became fractious. Before being allowed to race again, FAIRY EAGLE will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. PRINCE FALCON was slow to begin. CIRCUIT LAND and CALIFORNIA CHERISH began only fairly. WINDICATOR STAR began awkwardly. From the outside barrier, KING OF MONGOLIA was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. At the 500 Metres, HURRICANE KID was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FAIRY EAGLE. Shortly after this, HURRICANE KID attempted to improve to the outside of FAIRLY EAGLE and momentarily raced tight at the entrance to the Straight between that horse and KING OF MONGOLIA. CIRCUIT LAND and NOBLE ALPHA had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. In the early part of the Straight, PRINCE FALCON got its head on the side and lay out under pressure. After the 100 Metres, SPICY SURE shifted out abruptly under pressure, resulting in its rider having to stop riding and straighten his mount. Throughout the race, SPICY SURE travelled wide and without cover. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that CIRCUIT LAND had sustained a wound to the inside of the left hind leg. A veterinary inspection of SOLAR KINGDOM and CALIFORNIA CHERISH immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. AMAZING KIDS, SPICY SURE and CIRCUIT LAND were sent for sampling. <15/6/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>CALIFORNIA CHERISH, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time there were no significant findings. CALIFORNIA CHERISH was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer A S Cruz this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its right front leg with a swollen fetlock. Before being allowed to race again, CALIFORNIA CHERISH will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
