Bumped shortly after the start. H Bentley stated that with blinkers being reapplied to the horse tonight the instructions were to go forward and race on pace, similar to the position it held when it barrier trialed at Conghua on 20 April 2026.

Incident Report
Bumped shortly after the start. After travelling a short distance became unbalanced when it made contact with JOY CAPITAL whilst racing tight to the outside of WINNING NOW.

Began well from gate 11, sent forward to race prominently, 2 wide, found rail near 900M, 2-1/2L back turning in, peaked early in straight, weakened final furlong.

Incident Report
After travelling a short distance was hampered when taken wider by LIGHTNING ACE. Lay in in the Home Straight and proved difficult to ride out.

Began only fairly from a wide draw, raced behind midfield on the outside, 6 lengths back turning in, made some progress in straight.

Incident Report
Shortly after the start BRAVE WIN became unbalanced when it shifted out and away from WINNING NOW and made contact with JOY CAPITAL. BRAVE WIN was then briefly crowded by WINNING NOW (K Teetan) which shifted out, resulting in BRAVE WIN continuing to make contact with JOY CAPITAL and then resulting in JOY CAPITAL and BRIGHT DAY being taken out across the running of LIGHTNING ACE, resulting in LIGHTNING ACE striking the heels of BRIGHT DAY, blundering and losing ground. Whilst the Stewards found that the incident was partially due to BRAVE WIN shifting out when it made contact with JOY CAPITAL, K Teetan was reprimanded and advised in similar circumstances he would be expected to straighten his mounts when they shift ground whilst not clear. Leaving the 400 Metres was shifted to the outside of AWESOME TREASURE. LIGHTNING ACE then lay in and near the 350 Metres was steadied away from AWESOME TREASURE which shifted out slightly.

Jumped well from gate 1, raced slightly better than midfield on the inside, 4 lengths or so back turning in, peaked early in straight, weakened thereafter. (Blood in trachea.)

Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
