Incident Report
Bumped at the start. Approaching the 1500 Metres made contact with KING OF SELECTION when racing tight to the inside of EXCELLENT BOY. J Orman stated that his mount was disadvantaged by racing wide and without cover for the majority of the event and as a result was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Jumped well from gate 1, raced better than midfield on the inside, moved a bit closer on turn, peaked early in straight, weakened gradually final 100M. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
Jumped awkwardly, shifted in and made contact with WHOWROTETHATSONG. From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Leaving the 1400 Metres WINNING DATA, which was initially positioned to the outside of WHOWROTETHATSONG, was then shifted to the inside of WHOWROTETHATSONG (Y L Chung) as that runner commenced to shift in. A short distance later WHOWROTETHATSONG was then corrected by its rider when it shifted in and crowded WINNING DATA in onto AUTOMATED which was also crowded for room. As the Stewards were satisfied that WINNING DATA improved to the inside of WHOWROTETHATSONG as WHOWROTETHATSONG was commencing to shift in, Y L Chung was advised to exercise more care. Leaving the 400 Metres WHOWROTETHATSONG improved into a narrow run to the inside of WINNING DATA. A short distance later WINNING DATA was taken in slightly by INCANTO STAR, resulting in WHOWROTETHATSONG shifting in and away from WINNING DATA, crowding the running of AUTOMATED. Y L Chung was advised in similar circumstances he must ensure that there is sufficient racing room when improving into runs. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Average to begin, raced 3 wide in midfield, no cover throughout, peaked early in straight, weakened thereafter.

Incident Report
After improving to the inside of WHOWROTETHATSONG was checked leaving the 1400 Metres when crowded by WHOWROTETHATSONG which shifted in before being corrected by its rider. Near the 200 Metres was checked when crowded between KING OF SELECTION (C L Chau), which after making contact with INCANTO STAR, then shifted in and SMILING ONE (K C Leung) which shifted out. C L Chau was reprimanded and K C Leung was advised in similar circumstances he would be expected to straighten his mounts when they shift ground whilst not clear.

Began well, raced 2 wide, a length or so back, similar position on turn, kept on evenly in straight.
