DREAM PURSUER jumped only fairly and lay in in the Straight. DIVINE SHINING jumped awkwardly, made contact with the left side of its barrier and then from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. From a wide barrier, PHOENIX LIGHT was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. From the outside barrier, DECISIVE TWELVE was also shifted across behind runners in the early stages. When being steadied to obtain cover in the middle stages, SPEEDY MOUSE got its head up when racing ungenerously. Near the 900 Metres, TATTENHAM got its head up when racing keenly in a position close to the heels of DREAM PURSUER. HAPPY MISSION hung out in the middle stages. After the race, L Currie (DIVINE SHINING) reported that his mount lay out in the Straight and proved difficult to ride out. Also after the race, A Badel reported that despite being vigorously ridden along from the 800 Metres, PHOENIX LIGHT did not respond to his riding and raced in a disappointing manner. A veterinary inspection of DRAGON’S LUCK immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. A veterinary inspection of PHOENIX LIGHT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GOLDEN EXPRESS and WONDER KIT were sent for sampling.
