GOLDEN SHOW and WINNING SMILE both are course scratching.  GOLDEN SHOW had sustained a bruised near knee while WINNING SMILE had sustained bruised both fore cannons.  Each will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Upon loading, MARTIN VJ was leaning badly at the starting stall, resulting in Jockey K Eirwan having to dismount.  MARTIN VJ was re-loaded and again was leaning badly to its left side and as such, was withdrawn by order of the Panel of Stewards at 1.18pm.  The gelding will be required to pass one (1) starting stall test before being declared to race again.

RULE THE WORLD (HS Gill) which stood and was slow to begin, losing several lengths, will be required to pass one (1) starting stall test before being declared to race again.

CHERISH (L De Souza) was slow into stride.

D’GREAT OCEAN (SU Lim) shifted out from the whip at the later stages.

Prior to the ‘All Clear’ being given, an objection was lodged by Jockey SU Lim, the rider of D’GREAT OCEAN placed 2nd against STAGESHOW (App S Hafis), being declared the winner on grounds of alleged interference in the straight.   After considering all the evidence and reviewing the video, the Panel of Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race.   The objection was overruled and the Judges’ results stood.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of LUCK HAPPY reported that his mount was not striding out freely.  A post-race veterinary examination of LUCK HAPPY revealed no obvious abnormality.

A post-race veterinary examination of CHERISH revealed no obvious abnormality.

Trainer Evert van Breukelen was questioned with regards to the improved performance of STAGESHOW today.  The only explanation that he was able to offer is that this horse in its previous run had a bad draw and in his opinion, STAGESHOW raced in a small field today.  His explanation was noted and his attention was drawn to MRA Rule 117(3) regarding ‘in-and-out’ running.
