MAGIC RANGER (S Anandan) raced fiercely, laid outwards turning into the turn near the 850M.
When questioned regarding the performance of MEWTWO, Jockey C Goon stated that MEWTWO had been slow to begin as at its previous starts, the mare was also reluctant to race competitively in the early stages and he had pushed it from the 1000M. He was of the opinion that MEWTWO was unsuited by the tightness of the track although it had made good ground in the straight.
Trainer L Moy advised that the mare had shown an inclination of being tardy at the start. He also believed that the 1300M was now too short and would endeavour to start the mare over a longer distance in its next start.
Post-race veterinary examinations of ELEGENT (KC Wong) and LIKA TIGER revealed no significant finding.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MERCHANT MARINE returned having cast its off fore plate.
App S Saddam, the rider of SPARKLER, reported that his horse was making respiratory noises. A post-race veterinary examination of SPARKLER (App S Saddam) revealed that it was lame near fore and returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress, and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.
