MAJESTIC ENDEAVOUR, which was fractious in the barriers, bounded in the air at the start and lost ground. After this, from a wide barrier, MAJESTIC ENDEAVOUR was shifted across behind runners. Also from a wide barrier, ARM RUNDA was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. HAPPY COOPERATION shifted out at the start and hampered RADIANT STEED. WONDERFUL FIGHTER shifted out at the start and bumped GOOD COMPANION which in turn shifted out and inconvenienced POWER MAN. HAPPY COOPERATION lost its left hind plate at the 1150 Metres. Making the turn passing the 1000 Metres, HAPPY COOPERATION and STAR OF JOY bumped. Passing the 650 Metres, CHARITY GLORY commenced to prove difficult to settle and was checked away from the heels of SHARP HUNTER. Near the 75 Metres, SHARP HUNTER was momentarily awkwardly placed inside WONDERFUL FIGHTER which shifted in when giving ground. Throughout the race, HAPPY COOPERATION travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of WONDERFUL FIGHTER immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. CHARITY GLORY, SUPER FLUKE and SIMPLY BRILLIANT were sent for sampling. <23/11/2017 Additional Veterinary Report>WONDERFUL FIGHTER, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time the horse had bled from both nostrils. WONDERFUL FIGHTER was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer P F Yiu 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, WONDERFUL FIGHTER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
