CHIEF CLERK which was up 16kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

The race was run in light rain.

BRAVE MALALA (Z Khairil) and KUTTNER (AK Lim) showed no early speed despite being urged.

KULIM WINGS (Y Aify) had to be checked racing to the 400M when GHOST BANK (App R Ruwaidy) which was weakening, rolled in.

KUTTNER had to steady off the heels of GHOST BANK passing the 300M and shifted out for clear running.

KUTTNER shifted in away from the whip passing the 50M resulting in KULIM WINGS being crowded and had to be steadied in this incident.  Jockey AK Lim was shown the vision of the race and advised to exercise greater care in similar circumstances. 

All riders returned to scale an average of  ½ kg overweight. 

App R Ruwaidy, the rider of GHOST BANK, reported that his mount was not striding out freely.  A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding revealed no obvious abnormality.  GHOST BANK which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

Post-race veterinary examinations of BRAVE MALALA and TARZAN BOY (R Shafiq) revealed no obvious abnormality.

PERTH RACING TROPHY

FIELD FORCE which was down 17kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

Post-race veterinary examinations of MISE EN GARDE (Z Khairil), FIELD FORCE (AK Lim) and ASPEN revealed no obvious abnormality.

At the conclusion of an Inquiry, Jockey WK Yan, the rider of ASPEN, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that after getting a good jump, he failed to ride ASPEN with sufficient vigour to be in touch with the field from the 1100M until the 300M and failed to follow his riding instruction which was to be midfield.

When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account Jockey WK Yan’s guilty plea, his points of mitigation and his riding record.   Jockey WK Yan was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from Monday, 29th July 2019 and to expire on Thursday, 28th November 2019, both days inclusive.  In addition, he was fined the sum of RM10,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit Ten Thousand).  He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4.35pm).
