Between the 400M and the 300M, ELEGANT DANCER was disappointed for a run on the heels of SUPER JOY (S Anandan).
Approaching the 200M, KEEPITCONFIDENTIAL was disappointed for a run on the heels of SUPER JOY. He obtained clear running when switched inwards but was then further denied a clear run in the last strides.
Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of POLO GAGA, dropped his hands in the final strides and was beaten a short-head for fifth placing. He was reminded of his obligations under MRA Rule 44(6) to ride his horse out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

MUSANG KING (S Sandana) was over-racing in the early stages.
Approaching the 1000M, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of GUILTLESS, restrained his mount in order to take a lead from HEIRRO and in doing so, caused WINGED FOOT which was racing directly behind GUILTLESS to take a slight check. Jockey S Ruzaini was warned as a result of this incident that he must not slow the pace excessively when not clear.
SILVER POWER (App AK Lim) over-raced in the middle stages. Jockey S Ruzaini reported that GUILTLESS over-raced in response to SILVER POWER over-racing on his outside.
At about the 300M, Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of ITS ONLY MONEY, dropped his whip. The Stewards warned him that a repetition in future may lead to a penalty being imposed.
At about the 300M, GUILTLESS was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.
Approaching the 200M, WINGED FOOT was disappointed for a run on the heels of SILVER POWER and thereafter was unable to obtain clear running until after the 100M.

RACE 3 (R603) OPEN MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
D’GREAT STRIKE (I Saifudin) jumped inwards and bumped RAINBOW JAZZ (S Sandana) inwards onto NASI LEMAK (M Ganeesh) which lost its early position as a consequence.
PENDRAGON PRINCESS (S Salee) jumped awkwardly outwards and crowded GHOST SPIRIT (HS Gill) on the inside of NOVA FALCON (O Chavez) which jumped inwards.
D’GREAT STRIKE raced keenly and laid inwards in the early stages.
At about the 1000M, PENDRAGON PRINCESS was over-racing and laid outwards, bumping MISE EN GARDE (J Mallyon) outwards.
In the last 200M, FORTYEIGHT QUEEN (SU Lim) showed a tendency to lay inwards under pressure and had to be corrected to avoid the heels of NASI LEMAK approaching the 100M.
Jockeys M Ganeesh and I Saifudin, the rider of NASI LEMAK and D’GREAT STRIKE respectively, reported that their horses raced greenly throughout.
RAINBOW JAZZ which was beaten 25 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.
RACE 4 (R604) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
Trainer W Lim was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on IMMORTAL LEGACY (App AK Lim).
GERMANIC (HS Gill) jumped outwards and brushed with LOUEY VELOCE (S Ruzaini).
IMMORTAL LEGACY jumped outwards and bumped BAKUTEH (M Ganeesh).
NOVA CANO (I Fadzlei) raced wide in the early and middle stages, and shifted out under pressure in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of NOVA CANO revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.
Approaching the 600M, LOUEY VELOCE (S Ruzaini) was forced to check off the heels of LUCKY SIXTYSIX (Z Khairil) which rolled outwards briefly and then rolled back inwards.
IMMORTAL LEGACY, which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.
When questioned, Jockey F Yap, the rider of AUSSIE EAGLE, reported that he had taken a precautionary check shortly after the start as LUCKY SIXTYSIX drifted inwards from his outside, and that at about the 800M, he had to check again to avoid the heels of RICKIE (J Mallyon).
Trainer WC Lim, the trainer of AUSSIE EAGLE, reported that it had been his intention for Jockey F Yap to ride the race from a handy or midfield position, and he felt that the early interference had left AUSSIE EAGLE too far back and caused the gelding to underperform.
When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of BAHAR, stated that from his wide draw, he had attempted to drop the horse in and ride for luck, however, he had been forced to switch wide in order to make progress approaching the 900M and had therefore found himself in the rear division. He added that BAHAR produced a disappointing response to pressure in the straight.
