Incident Report
Near the 1400 Metres was steadied when crowded by MIGHTY COMMANDER which was taken in by LOVERO (Y L Chung) which shifted in when not clear. Y L Chung was reprimanded. Held up for clear running between the 400 Metres and the 200 Metres. Approaching the 50 Metres was disappointed for clear running to the inside of DEFINITIVE, was eased and shifted to that runner’s outside to continue into clear running.

Bumped start, positioned 1-1/2L behind the leader on rail, saved ground on turn, kept on well early in straight, no extra final 100M.

Moderately away from a wide draw, sent forward to race in 2nd, a length back on turn, kept on well in straight to take a place. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
After the event, H Bowman stated that near the 1000 Metres his mount commenced to race keenly and for this reason he elected to allow it to stride forward. He said M UNICORN then did not show sufficient pace to cross runners to its inside and as a result was obliged to race wide and without cover thereafter. He added as a consequence of being caught wide and racing keenly M UNICORN gave ground when placed under pressure in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of M UNICORN was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, M UNICORN will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Bumped start, raced 2 wide better than midfield, 2 to 3 lengths back turning in, peaked early in straight, weakened inside final furlong.
