RACE 1 (R191) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)
GOLD KIDS (HS Gill) and WHAT (App S Uzair) were slow to begin.
When racing fiercely near the 1200M, AMI ELEVEN (App WW Cheah) steadied behind EXCALIBUR (R Rueven) and was taken out by that horse, inconveniencing STREET OF LONDON (KC Wong). Shortly after this, EXCALIBUR continued to shift in, causing STREET CHAMP (App A Suriya) to miss stride. Jockey R Rueven was reprimanded for tightening horses at this stage.
FORTUNE SPIRIT (S Salee) raced wide in the early stages.
Near the 1000M, AMI ELEVEN which continued to race fiercely, steadied inside CALM AND TRANQUIL (App CK Khaw).
At the 600M, AMI ELEVEN steadied when striding onto the heels of STREET CHAMP.
EXCALIBUR shifted out quickly passing the 100M.
Jockey HS Gill, the rider of GOLD KIDS, reported that his horse was making respiratory noises. A post-race veterinary examination of GOLD KIDS revealed no significant finding.
RACE 2 (R192) CLASS 5 (A) – 1800M (LONG COURSE)
LIM’S FAIRLY (App R Nuqman) was slow to begin.
At the 1250M, PARAGON STAR (SU Lim) brushed the running rail.
Near the 1000M, JEFFREY (KC Wong) raced fiercely.
At the concluding stages, Jockey SU Lim (PARAGON STAR) dropped his near side rein. The Stewards advised Jockey SU Lim to make a more concentrated and diligent effort in his riding.
Jockey R Rueven, the rider of ROOTER, reported that his horse was not striding out freely and showed no interest in the race. A post-race veterinary examination of ROOTER revealed no significant finding.

This caused a delay in several minutes. Subsequently SECRET WIN (J Low), PREMIUM RUSH (App S Uzair) and D’GREAT LIGHT (KC Wong) were slow to begin.

RACE 6 (R196) RESTRICTED MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)
JEDI (Y Sakito) was slow to begin and failed to race competitively in the early stages. JEDI which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.
ZILFIKAR (HS Gill) and AIDEHOUR (App A Zaimuddin) were slow into stride.
Approaching the 1000M, GOLDEN PEAK (J De Souza) steadied slightly when crossed by TRINITY GENERAL (App L De Souza). At the same time, D’GREAT OCEAN (J Low) steadied marginally.
Passing the 200M, GOLDEN PEAK shifted in. TAOCA WARRIOR (App P Mogun) had to switch across that gelding’s heels in order to obtain a clear passage and in doing so, veered out quickly, interfering with BAGHDAD (R Rueven). The Stewards were satisfied that TAOCA WARRIOR had over-reacted to the move of App P Mogun due to his inexperience.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that AIDEHOUR returned having cast its near hind plate.

Shortly after the start, THANK YOU BOSS (App S Uzair) and CONFLIGHT (O Chavez) buffeted and bumped the hind-quarters of SATTAR (J De Souza).
WHY NOT (KC Wong) raced wide throughout.
When questioned, Jockey R Shafiq (LARSON) advised that he thought that horses were coming across from the outside and had steadied LARSON. The gelding had thrown its head at this stage and he felt that it may have struck itself and subsequently lost considerable ground. In the straight, LARSON was blocked for a run over the final 50M
App A Zaimuddin the rider of BIG TRUCK, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of BIG TRUCK revealed that it was lame off fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

RACE 10 (R200) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)
GENERAL MARSHALL (R Rueven) and INTROIT (J Low) were slow to begin.
Running to the 800M, TILSWORTH JACOBI (App M Akmazani) shifted in causing SUPER HERO (KC Wong) and D’GREAT EFFORT (R Shafiq) to be restrained. TILSWORTH JACOBI then checked itself inside ORIENTAL SPIRIT (App AR Aiman) and when losing ground, further inconvenienced D’GREAT EFFORT. On inquiry, it was established that TILSWORTH JACOBI had taken charge of App M Akmazani and pulled its way forward to the inside causing this chain of incidents. In considering that, TILSWORTH JACOBI had been a subject of a similar inquiry (Race 11 on 8/9/2019), the Stewards informed Trainer F Maynard that he must engage a senior rider for TILSWORTH JACOBI in future.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that LADRONE (O Chavez) returned with a cut to its near hind leg.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that CRAZY DREAMS (App WW Cheah) which collapsed after the race, returned with heat stress and dehydration, and as such will be required to undergo a veterinary examination (after 2 weeks embargo) before being declared to race again.

IMMORTALITY (C Goon) and KUTTNER (App L De Souza) were slow into stride.
Approaching the 800M, SHENBAO (KC Wong) was inclined to lay outwards causing TRINITY FLYING (SU Lim) to be restrained when crowded onto the heels of D’GREAT EMPRESS (R Shafiq).
Near the 750M, ELITE ROCKET (App A Zaimuddin) shifted in and caused KUTTNER (App L De Souza) to check. MEWTWO (HS Gill) which was following, had to be restrained. An inquiry into this incident was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
When blocked for a clear run near the 200M behind HYDRANT (App CK Khaw), PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) was taken outwards, brushing TRINITY FLYING causing it to be steadied. PERFECT RUN continued to shift out, brushing KUTTNER. On inquiry, the Stewards reprimanded App WW Cheah for shifting out at this stage.
