Near the 350 Metres made contact with HEALTHY HEALTHY when that runner raced tight to the inside of HONG KONG HALL. After the event, A Atzeni stated that he was obliged to make use of his mount in the early stages to hold his position, particularly with the race being run inside of standard time. He added in the Home Straight HEROIC MASTER finished the race off only fairly. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have sustained a small wound to its right front leg.

He added in the Home Straight due to the wide run MAJESTIC EXPRESS was unable to finish the race off strongly. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Incident Report
From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Incident Report
Trainer D A Hayes confirmed that from a wide barrier he had instructed L Hewitson to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages. He said he issued such instructions as AWESOME TREASURE had been racing disappointingly when ridden in a forward position at its most recent starts. Noted to have blood in the mouth after the race.
