Near the 450 Metres COMET MAJESTY, which hung out, was checked to avoid FLYING FORTRESS (H Bowman) which shifted in slightly and ALMIGHTY LIGHTNING (A Atzeni) which, after shifting to the outside of MY MARS (B Avdulla), was taken out by MY MARS.

Incident Report
Made contact with the left side of its starting gate on jumping and lost ground. Near the 300 Metres was bumped heavily by TITAN PEGASUS which shifted out when being checked. Near the 150 Metres was checked when crowded between ELITE GOLF (H Bentley) which shifted out slightly and SUGAR SUGAR (J Moreira) which improved to the inside of FLYING FORTRESS (H Bowman) as that runner commenced to give ground and shift in slightly. Jockeys Bentley, Moreira and Bowman were all advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. STAR RISE then could not be ridden out to the finish of the event when held up behind SUGAR SUGAR.

Began well from gate 1, raced in midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, unable to obtain clear run early in straight, made contact near 250M, eased inside final furlong. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
When questioned regarding his riding in the early stages of the Home Straight E Brown stated that after being held up behind ELITE GOLF, he shifted to the outside of ELITE GOLF near the 400 Metres, but he was reluctant to continue to shift out as he identified calls from a number of riders to his outside. He said for this reason he commenced cautiously to shift to the outside of VIGOR HAPPINESS and as he did so he was then prevented from shifting out further when STAR RISE improved to his outside. He said as a consequence he was then obliged to check to avoid VIGOR HAPPINESS near the 300 Metres when that runner gave ground quickly, resulting in his mount shifting out and making contact with STAR RISE.

Made contact shortly after start, sent forward to race prominently, 2 wide, 1/4L back turning in, weakened early in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
Jumped awkwardly. Raced keenly in the early and middle stages. H T Mo reported that his mount made a respiratory noise during the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
