HAPPY THREE was withdrawn on 11.6.16 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter FAST AND FURIOUS (K Teetan). Before being allowed to race again, HAPPY THREE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. PENNY LANE was slow to begin and lost further ground soon after the start when steadied away from the heels of FUNNY BUDDIES. Making the turn after the 900 Metres, STRIKING STAR got its head on the side, lay out and raced tight inside PENNY LANE. Approaching and for some distance after passing the 700 Metres, FUNNY BUDDIES raced tight inside VOLITATION which improved to be racing inside the heels of THE FULL BLOOM which, after initially shifting out marginally away from the heels of SHOW MISSION, then shifted back in to resume its position. SUPER MAN had some difficulty obtaining a run in the early part of the Straight and approaching the 300 Metres shifted out into clear running and bumped PROMPT EXPRESS. In the Straight, FUNNY BUDDIES lay in under pressure. A veterinary inspection of THE FULL BLOOM immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. SUPER MAN and CARE FREE PRINCE were sent for sampling.
