FREE NOVEMBER was withdrawn on 19.6.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (inappetence) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter MR GINGER (C K Tong). Before being allowed to race again, FREE NOVEMBER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. MR GINGER began only fairly and then for the majority of the race travelled wide and without cover. Shortly after the start, C Y Ho (FAST MARVEL) adjusted his left foot in the stirrup iron. For some distance in the early stages, COUR VALANT got its head up and raced ungenerously when being steadied to obtain a position with cover. Passing the 1100 Metres, LITTLE FANTASY was steadied away from the heels of LUCKY DAY (N Callan) which shifted in when not properly clear. N Callan was advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in future. Near the 800 Metres, SENSATION was left racing wide and without cover. OVETT lost its right front plate at the 750 Metres. Passing the 700 Metres, SHOWING CHARACTER was steadied away from the heels of LITTLE FANTASY which shifted out marginally. SHARP HUNTER lost its right front plate passing the 600 Metres. N Callan stated that LUCKY DAY travelled fairly until approaching the 500 Metres at which time the horse came under pressure to maintain its position. He said normally LUCKY DAY travels on the bridle until well into the Straight, however, the manner in which the horse came under pressure prior to the Home Turn indicated to him that it did not handle the prevailing track conditions. A veterinary inspection of LUCKY DAY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. THEWIZARDOFOZ and HEALTHY JOYFUL were sent for sampling.
