Began fairly, raced behind midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, finished off strongly to be nearest on line.

Incident Report

Jumped well, raced 2 wide slightly better than midfield, there to turn, finished off well to take a place, no threat to the first two.

Incident Report
After the event, A Badel stated that from a favourable barrier TACTICAL COMMAND was able to hold a more forward position than it did at its most recent start.

Moderately away, raced in midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, finished off evenly.

Incident Report
No report.

Shifted in abruptly at start, raced prominently, 2 wide, there to turn, showed some response early in straight, peaked 150M, ran on evenly to the line.

Incident Report
Shifted in abruptly at the start. Near the 900 Metres was eased when crossed by DIVINE MOONLIGHT (B Shinn) which shifted in when not quite clear. B Shinn was advised to exercise more care.

Fast into stride, took the early lead, headed near 900M, allowed rival to cross approaching 750M, sat right behind the leader on turn, not enough room early in straight, ran on evenly thereafter.

Incident Report
For some distance approaching the 250 Metres attempted a narrow run between DIVINE MOONLIGHT and FUN N GLORY. When FUN N GLORY (K Teetan) lay in slightly near the 250 Metres, I AM THE BOSS was checked when awkwardly placed close to the heels of FUN N GLORY and as a result lost ground. K Teetan was advised to exercise more care. However, the Stewards found that the run I AM THE BOSS was improving into was tight which contributed to the incident.

Jumped with them, raced 2 wide towards rear, 6 lengths back turning in, made minor progress in straight.

Incident Report
Near the 400 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running when being shifted to the outside of FIT BEAUTY. After the event, M F Poon stated that the intention was to hold a more forward position but when caught wide in the early stages he was obliged to settle further back to obtain cover behind FIT BEAUTY. He added that in the Home Straight his mount ran on fairly and attempted to jump a section on the track near the 170 Metres. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Blundered badly shortly after start, raced at rear on the inside, hard ridden from 600M, 6-1/2L back turning in, made minor progress in the run home.

Incident Report
After the event, B Avdulla stated that his mount jumped awkwardly and shortly after the start blundered badly and as a consequence became unbalanced and lost ground. He added that MEEPMEEP settled further back in the field than had been intended but finished the race off reasonably well and he was not too disappointed with the performance of the horse. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Bumped start, unable to slot in, raced in midfield on the outside, no cover throughout, dropped towards rear 500M, made no progress in straight.

Incident Report
Bumped at the start. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

Jumped well from a wide draw, raced prominently, took the lead near 900M, found rail approaching 750M, led by 1/2L turning in, peaked and headed 300M, weakened final furlong.

Incident Report
After the event, B Shinn stated that after obtaining the lead DIVINE MOONLIGHT, which was having its first race start, did not respond to his riding in the Home Straight and, in his opinion, would derive benefit from today’s race experience. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Crowded start, raced at rear, 7 lengths back, same margin back on turn, made no impression in straight. (Lost right front plate.)

Incident Report
Jumped only fairly and then was crowded by FUN N GLORY which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider. Noted to have lost its right front plate after the race.

Taken back from the widest draw, raced towards rear on the inside, saved ground on turn, failed to make any progress in straight.

Incident Report
No report.

Jumped with them, raced 2 wide in midfield, 4 lengths back, there to turn, peaked early in straight, weakened final furlong. (Bled.)

Incident Report
Throughout the event raced ungenerously and got its head up near the 1000 Metres when positioned close to TACTICAL COMMAND. Noted to have bled from both nostrils after the race. Before being allowed to race again, FIT BEAUTY will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Incident Report
After arriving at the barriers was kicked by another runner. Acting on veterinary advice that CALIFORNIA BLITZ was not suitable to race, the horse was withdrawn by order of the Stewards. Before being allowed to race again, CALIFORNIA BLITZ will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
