Incident Report
Between the 400 Metres and the 250 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running when being shifted to the outside of VIVA CHALEUR.

Bumped on jumping, raced towards rear, 2 away from the stands' rail, 6 lengths or so back at 400M, hard ridden 350M, failed to make any progress, finished last.

Incident Report
Jumped only fairly. On two occasions near the 600 Metres was steadied when crowded by JOYFUL FRIENDSHIP (M F Poon) which shifted in and away from VIVA CHALEUR. M F Poon was advised to exercise more care and straighten his mounts sooner than what he did on this occasion. When questioned Z Purton stated that after improving to the inside of SUPREME WINNER near the 400 Metres he then was endeavouring to improve between SUPREME WINNER and APOLAR FIGHTER between the 400 Metres and the 200 Metres, but was unable to do so when the run did not fully develop. He said leaving the 200 Metres when APOLAR FIGHTER commenced to shift out, this resulted in PERFECT PEACH being steadied when disappointed for clear running between SUPREME WINNER and APOLAR FIGHTER leaving the 150 Metres. He added after shifting to the inside of APOLAR FIGHTER near the 100 Metres his mount finished the race off reasonably well. Noted to have lost its left front plate after the race.
