Incident Report
When questioned regarding his riding in the middle stages and as to whether there was an opportunity to hold his position one off the fence behind BEAUTY CRESCENT, C L Chau stated that when BEAUTY CRESCENT commenced to race keenly approaching the 800 Metres he elected to shift out slightly to give his horse sufficient clearance from the runner in front. He said as he shifted out LITTLE PARADISE was then able to take advantage of that position and commenced a forward move which he was unable to prevent due to his positioning on the track.

Crowded shortly after start, raced slightly behind midfield on the inside, a bit closer on turn, 2 wide after passing 500M, no clear run early in straight, kept on evenly thereafter.

Incident Report
No report.

Shifted out at start and bumped, sent forward to take the lead, led by 1/2L turning in, peaked and headed 300M, weakened gradually final 100M.

Incident Report
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Shifted out at start and made contact, raced at rear on the outside, 6 lengths or so back turning in, failed to close off in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
Near the 900 Metres was steadied when crowded by PUBLIC ATTENTION (A Atzeni) which shifted in before being corrected. A Atzeni was advised to exercise more care. For some distance after the 900 Metres raced keenly and was steadied away from SKY TRUST.

Taken back from a wide draw, raced in midfield on the outside, no cover for the majority of the race, hard ridden approaching 350M, kept on well in straight to take a place without threatening.

Incident Report
Shortly after the start was checked when crowded between MID WINTER WIND which shifted out and HEALTHY HAPPY which was taken in by INFINITE RESOLVE when that runner was taken in by SKY TRUST (H Bowman). H Bowman was advised to exercise more care.

Shifted in at start and bumped, positioned 2 wide in midfield, similar position on turn, showed limited response early in straight, weakened gradually final 100M.

Incident Report
Leaving the 900 Metres shifted in and away from DANCING CODE and made contact with the running rail. A short distance later YOUNG CHAMPION was steadied to avoid DANCING CODE (Apprentice E C W Wong) which shifted in when not clear. Apprentice Wong was severely reprimanded. M L Yeung stated that the instructions were to hold a midfield position, however, when YOUNG CHAMPION raced keenly in the early stages it held a more forward position than had been intended despite his efforts to restrain the horse to comply with his instructions. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Began only fairly, raced at rear on the inside, saved ground on turn, made minor progress early in straight, peaked 200M, weakened gradually final 100M.

Incident Report
Apprentice E C W Wong stated that from the outside barrier he had to make too much use of his mount in the early stages to lead and as a consequence DANCING CODE was unable to finish the race off in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Incident Report
No report.

Bumped start, raced 2 wide better than midfield, 3 wide from 550M, kept on well in straight to take 2nd.
