As the start was effected, ASTROLOGER reared and bumped the outside of its gate, resulting in ASTROLOGER losing a significant amount of ground. Before being allowed to race again, ASTROLOGER will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial. PING HAI GALAXY stumbled at the start. KA YING MASTER began awkwardly and then was bumped by SUPER WIN DRAGON which shifted out. After the 1000 Metres, YOU’REMYEVERYTHING raced tight outside SUPER WIN DRAGON (C Y Ho) when taken wider by that horse which shifted out. SUPER WIN DRAGON and YOU’REMYEVERYTHING continued to race tight for some distance after this. C Y Ho was advised to ensure that he avoids making unnecessary contact with other runners when shifting ground. Then making the turn near the 700 Metres SUPER WIN DRAGON was awkwardly placed close to the heels of KA YING MASTER when continuing to race tight inside YOU’REMYEVERYTHING. Passing the winning post, CLASSIC UNICORN raced tight inside YOU’REMYEVERYTHING which shifted to the inside of PING HAI GALAXY. When questioned, C Y Ho stated that making the first turn he had to make some use of SUPER WIN DRAGON to be as close to the leaders as possible after the 800 Metres. He said after being placed under pressure rounding the Home Turn, SUPER WIN DRAGON did not show the same turn of foot that it had in its races recently and then was somewhat disappointing over the concluding stages in respect of the manner in which it finished the race off. A veterinary inspection of SUPER WIN DRAGON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SUPER WIN DRAGON, PING HAI GALAXY and KA YING MASTER were sent for sampling.
