KING WARRIOR was inclined to lay outwards over the final 100M. 

A post-race veterinary examination of ARLO (App A Suriya) 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.

Post-race veterinary examinations of FORTUNE SPIRIT and RED SAPPHIRE (M Hanif) revealed that the geldings returned lame near fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.
