LE PLUS VITE jumped only fairly. M M NEBULA was slow to begin, shifted out and made contact with the left side of its barrier. M M NEBULA then shifted out further and bumped ACA POWER. HANDSOME GUYS shifted out abruptly at the start, resulting in FINGERS CROSSED being crowded and taken out onto GLORIOUS LOVER which was checked when crowded to the inside of DASHING GENIUS. LITTLE PLAYER hung out making the Home Turn. Near the 50 Metres, FINGERS CROSSED was eased to avoid DASHING GENIUS which shifted in slightly. After the race, L Ferraris (HAPPILY FRIENDS) reported that his mount hung out making the Home Turn. Also after the race, B Avdulla (LUCK STAR) reported that with his mount coming back in distance for tonight’s event, he was obliged to make use of LUCK STAR to hold a midfield position and as a consequence it was not able to finish the race off. A veterinary inspection of LUCK STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of LITTLE PLAYER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SMART FOLKS and ACA POWER were sent for sampling.
