Trainer D J Whyte stated that the intention was to hold a midfield position but the horse settled further back in the field than intended. He added he issued those instructions as OCEAN IMPACT has run its best races when being ridden conservatively in the early stages.
10 10 VIEW ALL THINGS (K101) 11 M Chadwick Prior to the running of the event Trainer W K Mo advised that the intention was to ride the horse where comfortable with cover as it was stepping up in distance and is a recorded "roarer”. M Chadwick stated that when caught wide in the early stages he was obliged to settle slightly further back than he had intended to ensure that he was able to obtain cover. Leaving the 600 Metres was eased when racing tight to the inside of SPLENDID FORCE which had commenced a forward move.
7 11 COOL BLUE (H011) 6 S Osborne Slow to begin.

4 10 KA YING RADIANCE (K134) 10 M F Poon Prior to the running of the event Trainer D A Hayes confirmed that from a wide barrier he had instructed M F Poon to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages as KA YING RADIANCE had performed well when ridden in this manner previously.

7 11 KING'S ARROW (L254) 1 L Hewitson L Hewitson advised that his instructions were to go forward.

8 1 TEN LOVES (L371) 3 R Kingscote No report.
12 2 VIGOR HAPPINESS (L284) 12 H T Mo (-2) Prior to the running of the event Trainer Y S Tsui confirmed that he had instructed H T Mo to ride the horse in a conservative manner in the early stages from the outside barrier. He said he issued those instructions as the horse had raced disappointingly at its most recent starts when ridden in a more forward position. From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
10 3 APEX GLORY (L265) 8 Z Purton When questioned Z Purton stated that the intention was to go forward. He said after being loaded into the starting gates APEX GLORY was fractious and as the start was effected bounded and lost ground. He said after being positioned at the back of the field he intended to ride the horse with cover behind SHANDONG SPIRIT, however, APEX GLORY raced keenly and refused to settle. He said as a result when BRING ME HOME improved three wide near the 900 Metres he was obliged to follow that runner, however, APEX GLORY continued to race keenly during the middle stages. He added after entering the Home Straight he improved to the outside of BRING ME HOME but his mount responded only fairly to his riding and, in his opinion, was particularly disappointing over the final 200 Metres when it commenced to give ground. Trainer K L Man stated the horse was disadvantaged by losing ground at the start and also racing too keenly. A warning was placed on the barrier manners of APEX GLORY. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of APEX GLORY, a last start winner, was considered disappointing. Before being allowed to race again, APEX GLORY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Sent for sampling post-race.
