[ONLY APPRENTICES ALLOWANCES PERMITTED]                                                  

SALAAM NAMASTEY (HS Gill) and BLEU MARINE (F Yap) both broke through the gate, were restrained, checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon, passed fit to race and were reboxed.

Due to the mal-function of the hydraulic system of the starting gate, the start was effected manually. 

NORTHERN STAR (AL Da Silva) was slow into stride.

At approximately the 1400M-mark, MANDRAKE (S Saddam) had to steady when LUCKY MAGIC (S Ruzaini) rolled in. 

Passing the 400M-mark, MANDRAKE slipped, causing Jockey S Saddam to lose balance momentarily.

Passing the 300M-mark, THE BOSS (KC Tham) had to steady on the rail when BLEU MARINE rolled in.

At approximately the 150M-mark, THE BOSS was again held up by BLEU MARINE.  Jockey F Yap was shown the video of both incidents and warned to exercise more care when shifting ground in future, failing which action may be taken.

Post-race veterinary examinations of MANDRAKE and THE BOSS revealed no obvious abnormality, however, THE BOSS cast its off hind plate on returning.  GARUDAN (L De Souza)  also cast its off hind plate on returning.
