On arrival at the Start, it was noted that CONGRATULATION had blood in the mouth. CONGRATULATION was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. CONGRATULATION began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped the hindquarters of KURPANY. CONGRATULATION was then crowded for room between WHEN YOU BELIEVE and KURPANY which shifted in when unbalanced. SILVER FIG shifted out at the start and was steadied away from the heels of DUKE WAI. After this, SILVER FIG was shifted across behind runners. KA YING MASTER stumbled at the start. SUNNY BOY shifted in on jumping and bumped CZARSON. Approaching the 800 Metres, MAN STAR raced tight between GUNNISON and SUNNY BOY (D Moor) which shifted in. D Moor was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. CONGRATULATION made the turn after the 700 Metres awkwardly, shifted out and raced tight inside GUNNISON. Throughout the race, SUNNY BOY and DUKE WAI travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of MAN STAR and SUNNY BOY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of WHEN YOU BELIEVE immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. RED DESERT, KURPANY and CZARSON were sent for sampling.
