RACE 1 (R180) CLASS 5 – 1200M
SUPER BONUS, a course scratching as it was sore near fore fetlock, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
As App P Mogun encountered transport problems en route to the Club, the Stewards permitted App KC Wong to replace him as the rider of MULTIBLUE TOSCA.
D’GREAT EMPRESS (HK Cheng) was kicked behind the barriers whilst parading. D’GREAT EMPRESS was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to race.

LEE’S SURPRISE (S Salee) was slow into stride.
ONE FOR ALL raced wide from the 700M until entering the straight.
OUR FRIENDLY DIVA (App W Faizal) laid out away from the whip and finished wider on the track.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MULTI WEALTH (L Sofhan) returned lame off fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
A post-race veterinary examination of MR JAI (S Ruzzini)) revealed that the gelding returned cut into near fore frog and will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

The Stewards questioned Jockey S Anandan, the rider of VALBERRY into that mare’s performance today. He stated that his instructions were to be midfield which was confirmed by the trainer, Mr. S Shanmugam. Jockey S Anandan then explained that the mare was fractious in the barrier, jumped away awkwardly and threw its head up and as a consequence, he was unable to be midfield as instructed. He further stated that approaching the 400M, he steadied his mount when MR JAI rolled in and from the 300M when he commenced to ride with the whip, VALBERRY only responded fairly. The Stewards noted his explanation.
