LUCKY GOR (J Moreira) stumbled on jumping and then lost ground when crowded for room between SWEET DIAMOND and GLENEALY GENERALS, both of which shifted ground. LUCKY GOR and SWEET DIAMOND were then hampered when tightened between GLENEALY GENERALS which was racing tight inside MEDIC ELITE and HAPPY TRIO which got its head on the side and shifted out away from KOWLOON EAST STAR after initially being bumped by that horse. This resulted in LUCKY GOR racing back in the field in the early stages. J Moreira stated that despite the circumstances at the start LUCKY GOR was able to improve its position in the middle stages and he anticipated that the horse would finish the race off well. He said however that after obtaining clear running passing the 300 Metres LUCKY GOR was then very disappointing in the manner in which it weakened over the concluding stages. A veterinary inspection of LUCKY GOR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
GOOD NEWS and FORTUNE MARBO brushed on jumping.
Approaching the 600 Metres, SWEET DIAMOND was awkwardly placed behind GLENEALY GENERALS. SWEET DIAMOND was then brushed by MEDIC ELITE passing the 600 Metres as that horse was taken in by LUCKY GOR.
