ISLAND FLYER began only fairly. TELEPHATIA was steadied in the early stages to obtain cover and for some distance after the 2000 Metres got its head up when proving difficult to settle. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, SUPERNATURAL failed to muster speed. JOLLY AMBER lost its right front plate at the 1200 Metres. TELEPHATIA was held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn and in the early part of the Straight. Passing the 300 Metres, SWEET BEAN raced tight inside ISLAND FLYER. N Rawiller (LE PANACHE) dropped his whip approaching the 100 Metres. A veterinary inspection of DRAGON BACHELOR and ISLAND FLYER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TELEPHATIA and LE PANACHE were sent for sampling. <30/10/2017 Additional Veterinary Report>DRAGON BACHELOR, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time there were no significant findings. DRAGON BACHELOR was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer Y S Tsui this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its left front leg. Before being allowed to race again, DRAGON BACHELOR will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
