[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.

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.
