Incident Report
Approaching the 300 Metres FLAGSHIP WARRIOR (Apprentice E C W Wong) shifted to the outside of MISTER DAPPER to obtain clear running and in doing so made contact with WROTE A NEW PAGE. As a result WROTE A NEW PAGE was taken out, causing FIGHT TIME to be shifted to the outside of WROTE A NEW PAGE which further resulted in THE AUSPICIOUS being taken across the running of SETANTA which was steadied. Apprentice Wong was reprimanded.

Crowded on jumping, raced in midfield on the outside, moved a bit closer turning in, made some progress early in straight, peaked 200M, ran on evenly to the line. (See Racing Incidents.)
