Incident Report
Crowded near the 350 Metres. When questioned, K C Leung stated that he was not instructed to go forward but in the early stages when caught wide he allowed MASTER TRILLION to cross runners to his inside to lead rather than being caught wide. He said making the first turn MASTER TRILLION hung out slightly and as a result lost ground when being crossed by PEARL OF PANG’S. K C Leung was advised, wherever possible, he must ensure he sets a consistent pace. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Jumped well from a wide draw, took the lead, shared lead with rivals on turn, peaked and headed early in straight, weakened final 300M.
