FANTASTIC SHOW began only fairly and then shifted out and was steadied away from the heels of KING’S HORN. CALIFORNIA GUNGHO shifted out at the start and bumped KEEP YOU WARM, resulting in both horses becoming unbalanced. TELECOM PUMA began only fairly. Passing the 1100 Metres, BIZ POWER was momentarily awkwardly placed behind PING HAI BRAVO. Near the 900 Metres, TELECOM PUMA was left racing wide and without cover. For some distance after the 800 Metres, BIZ POWER was awkwardly placed close to the heels of PING HAI BRAVO. Rounding the Home Turn, BIZ POWER was steadied after attempting to improve inside the heels of PING HAI BRAVO where there was not quite sufficient room. BIZ POWER was then shifted out a number of horses to obtain clear running passing the 300 Metres. At the entrance to the Straight, WINNING BREW was awkwardly placed near the heels of ULTIMATE GLORY when being directed to the outside of that horse to obtain clear running. Passing the 400 Metres, PING HAI BRAVO was steadied away from the heels of BIG FORTUNE which shifted in marginally when held up for clear running behind KEEP YOU WARM and inside KA YING LEGEND. PING HAI BRAVO was then unable to obtain clear running until after the 200 Metres. BIG FORTUNE also had difficulty obtaining clear running until passing the 250 Metres. A veterinary inspection of KA YING LEGEND immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BIZ POWER, LOCKHEED and KEEP YOU WARM were sent for sampling.
