SPADE OF ACE (AK Lim) and STAR TALENT (L De Souza) bumped heavily on jumping.

The saddle on LEO (CK Khaw) slipped forward near the 700M. Jockey CK Khaw explained that LEO had been pulling hard and he had been unable to secure cover thus the saddle had slipped forward, placing him in an awkward position, therefore he had been unable to ride LEO out when it was off the bit until the saddle eventually righted itself.

Near the 625M, BEST BAY (J Daniel) had to steady when CERDAN (WK Lee) rolled in.

On straightening, SPADE OF ACE shifted out quickly, bumping FREY (SU Lim) which became unbalanced. BELLA VELOCE (S Ruzaini) which was following, had to ease.

HAPPY LUCKY STAR (App WW Cheah) dwelt at the start, losing considerable ground. HAPPY LUCKY STAR will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

OISIN EXPRESS (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly and after travelling 75M, had to be restrained when crowded after KING OF GLORY (C Goon) laid inwards onto AMETHYST (App Clyde Leck) which shifted in front of OISIN EXPRESS.

Near the 700M, KALA GHODA (J Shankar) had to be restrained outwards to avoid the heels of the quickly and tiring HAPPY LUCKY STAR.

THUNDERGOD (App AB Riduan) raced wide in the early stages.

The Stewards questioned App WW Cheah with regards to his riding of HAPPY LUCKY STAR after missing the start. He advised that he had been instructed to ride in a forward position and had pushed HAPPY LUCKY STAR vigourously after it had missed the start by a considerable margin, thereby leading by the 1000M. HAPPY LUCKY STAR had tired badly from the 700M. The Stewards advised App WW Cheah that they considered he had erred badly as it had affected significantly which resulted in HAPPY LUCKY STAR having missed the start and was advised that he must show initiative in future to improve and to give his horse chances irrespective of what might happen in the race.
