BIG PARTY was withdrawn on 6.2.19 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter EARTH TRILOGY. Before being allowed to race again, BIG PARTY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
COOL TEAM bumped the inside of its gate on jumping and consequently began awkwardly.
PRANCE DRAGON began awkwardly.
From wide barriers, MR GENUINE and HERO TIME were steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.
EARTH TRILOGY was also steadied in the early stages to obtain cover.
Passing the 800 Metres, PRANCE DRAGON was awkwardly placed behind SUPER WISE which was being steadied to allow EIGHTY EIGHTY to cross.
For the majority of the race, GOD OF DRAGON travelled wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection of EIGHTY EIGHTY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of HERO TIME immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.
KEY WITNESS and PRANCE DRAGON were sent for sampling.
