After being loaded into the barriers, HORSE OF GOOD LUCK reared, became cast and got its both front legs briefly over the barrier partition. HORSE OF GOOD LUCK was removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said that in his opinion it was suitable to race. HORSE OF GOOD LUCK then jumped awkwardly and lost ground and subsequently finished tailed out. The barrier manners and performance of HORSE OF GOOD LUCK were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, HORSE OF GOOD LUCK will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of HORSE OF GOOD LUCK immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WINNING DATA jumped only fairly. URBAN TRIUMPH was slow to begin. REGENCY BO BO and SIMPLE HEDGE bumped at the start. When being shifted behind runners in the early stages, CASA SACRED became awkwardly placed close to the heels of BLISSFUL LIFE which shifted out slightly. For some distance approaching the 800 Metres, SIGHT HERO raced tight to the inside of CASA SACRED which was inclined to lay in. Near the 800 Metres, MODULECONSTRUCTION and BLISSFUL LIFE made contact. BLISSFUL LIFE then lay out slightly making the first turn. HUGE WIN lay in under pressure in the Straight. MODULECONSTRUCTION raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. The performance of CASA SACRED, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, CASA SACRED will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of MARVEL DRAGON immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm. Before being allowed to race again, MARVEL DRAGON will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. SIMPLE HEDGE and MODULECONSTRUCTION were sent for sampling.
