Passing the 1500 Metres was steadied when momentarily crowded by ZETTA FORCE which lay in and away from SETANTA despite the efforts of its rider.

M F Poon stated that after jumping only fairly and being crowded at the start his mount settled further back in the field than had been intended. He added when the pace of the event increased from the 800 Metres DOUBLE BINGO did not respond to his riding and finished the race off only fairly in the Home Straight.

12 9 WINDICATOR FAMILY (H419) 8 K C Leung Bumped shortly after the start. Passing the 1500 Metres was steadied to avoid NOBLE FANS (R Kingscote) which shifted in when not clear. R Kingscote was reprimanded. When questioned regarding his riding in the early stages and as to whether there was an opportunity to go forward of PODIUM to avoid racing wide K C Leung stated that the instructions were to take up a midfield position. He said when his mount jumped well it held a forward position. He added that when positioned to the outside of PODIUM he was reluctant to allow his mount to stride forward as he was of the opinion this would be in contrast to the instructions that had been issued. He said as a result WINDICATOR FAMILY was obliged to race wide and without cover until near the 800 Metres before giving ground in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

12 1 MIGHTY STEED (J384) 9 Z Purton Bumped shortly after the start. Near the 350 Metres was severely checked when disappointed for clear running between DASHING MAURISON and LAKESHORE HERO which was commencing to give ground. When questioned Z Purton stated that his instructions were to go forward and race outside the expected leader MEGA MASTERMIND. He said after riding his mount forward and being positioned to the outside of LAKESHORE HERO he was waiting for LAKESHORE HERO to obtain a trailing position behind MEGA MASTERMIND as he observed Apprentice P N Wong, rider of LAKESHORE HERO, looking to her inside and attempting to do so. He said for some distance near the 1100 Metres MIGHTY STEED shifted in towards LAKESHORE HERO and made contact with that runner which resulted in his stirrup becoming entangled with the stirrup of Apprentice Wong. He said for this reason he had some difficulty in restraining his mount for a short distance. He added after the 1100 Metres when he was aware the pace of the event was fast and Apprentice Wong was not able to restrain her mount adequately to obtain cover, he then elected to obtain a position with cover but had some difficulty in doing so when MIGHTY STEED raced keenly. He said on entering the Back Straight after the 900 Metres he was able to obtain a position with cover behind LAKESHORE HERO. After considering the evidence the Stewards advised Jockey Purton that, in their opinion, he should have made a greater effort sooner to obtain a position with cover behind LAKESHORE HERO and MEGA MASTERMIND when those two runners maintained their position to his inside to endeavour to avoid the pace of the event being run too fast. When questioned Z Purton stated that from the 700 Metres his mount improved to the inside of LAKESHORE HERO. He said as a result he was obliged to ease his mount near the 500 Metres to start to improve to the outside of LAKESHORE HERO. He said as he did so DASHING MAURISON improved quickly to his outside which prevented him from obtaining clear running to the outside of LAKESHORE HERO. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
7 2 ROMANTIC LAOS (G476) 1 H Bowman Near the 350 Metres was steadied when endeavouring to improve between WHOWROTETHATSONG and MIGHTY STEED which shifted out when being checked. Near the 150 Metres was steadied when crowded between WHOWROTETHATSONG and GENERAL REDWOOD, both of which shifted ground.
9 3 MEGA MASTERMIND (L044) 3 B Avdulla Bumped near the 200 Metres when giving ground. When questioned B Avdulla stated that his instructions were to go forward and lead. He said in accordance with his instructions he rode his mount in the early stages where he was able to hold the lead. He said making the turn near the 1400 Metres his mount was pressured by LAKESHORE HERO but as MEGA MASTERMIND held a margin over LAKESHORE HERO he was reluctant to restrain his mount to allow that horse to cross. He said for some distance after the 1200 Metres he maintained his position in the lead as he was waiting for LAKESHORE HERO and also MIGHTY STEED to desist from holding their position to his outside and he felt it would be detrimental to his mount’s chances to allow those runners to cross. Having considered his explanation the Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Avdulla were reasonable in the circumstances. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
1 4 GENERAL REDWOOD (L102) 12 Y L Chung (-2) For some distance near the 1100 Metres was steadied to avoid WHOWROTETHATSONG when racing keenly. Near the 500 Metres was steadied when racing in restricted room between NOBLE PURSUIT and CAN’T GO WONG. Sent for sampling post-race.
5 5 NOBLE PURSUIT (H324) 4 J Moreira No report.
11 6 CELTIC TIMES (G230) 11 K Teetan Leaving the 500 Metres was steadied when unable to improve between CAN’T GO WONG and GENERAL REDWOOD.
8 7 ACE POWER (J181) 10 A Atzeni Bumped shortly after the start.
4 8 SAVVY WARRIOR (K257) 6 C Y Ho Near the 600 Metres was momentarily crowded by MIGHTY STEED which shifted in.
6 9 WHOWROTETHATSONG (L048) 8 A Badel After the 350 Metres was bumped on the hindquarters by ROMANTIC LAOS.
2 10 DASHING MAURISON (K374) 2 H Bentley Near the 350 Metres became unbalanced when bumped by MIGHTY STEED as DASHING MAURISON prevented MIGHTY STEED from shifting out to improve. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 11 CAN'T GO WONG (H087) 5 M F Poon Near the 200 Metres made contact with LAKESHORE HERO and MEGA MASTERMIND when both runners shifted slightly when giving ground.
10 12 LAKESHORE HERO (J288) 7 P N Wong (-7) Bumped near the 200 Metres when giving ground. When questioned Apprentice P N Wong stated that her instructions were to go forward and hold an on-pace position. She said in accordance with those instructions she rode the horse to hold a position to the outside of MEGA MASTERMIND in the early stages but after the first turn near the 1400 Metres she was aware the pace of the event was fast. She said for this reason she endeavoured to restrain her mount with a view to taking a trailing position behind MEGA MASTERMIND, however, LAKESHORE HERO raced too keenly, particularly after making contact with MIGHTY STEED near the 1100 Metres and failed to respond to her efforts to restrain which resulted in it maintaining its position to the outside of MEGA MASTERMIND. Trainer D J Hall confirmed the instructions and expressed satisfaction with the efforts made by Apprentice Wong to restrain her mount. He added that LAKESHORE HERO in both its races and track work had a tendency to race keenly and was difficult to settle on occasions. After considering Apprentice Wong’s explanation the Stewards were satisfied that she had made sufficient effort in endeavouring to obtain a position with cover in the early stages, however, the racing manners of her mount had prevented her from being able to do so. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

5 5 LE ZONDA (L110) 9 E Brown E Brown stated that from the outside barrier he was instructed to take up a forward position. He said when unable to cross runners in the early stages LE ZONDA was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event. Trainer P C Ng confirmed the instructions and stated that he issued those instructions as he was of the opinion it would be difficult to make up ground on tonight’s "C+3” course.

B Avdulla reported that when he felt the pace of the event eased he elected to start a forward move approaching the 700 Metres. He said when unable to clear runners to his inside HARMONY GALAXY was obliged to make a wide run from the 700 Metres before finishing the race off only fairly in the Home Straight.
