SNOW DANCER (Lou Ho) jumped away awkwardly.

LEE’S SURPRISE (S Salee) was slow to begin and showed no early pace.

ONE MORE ACHIEVER (R Rueven) shifted in on jumping away and as a result, BOLD PASSION (CK Tan) was checked and lost ground.

HUN YEANG SQUARE stumbled at the 800M and unbalanced its rider and shortly thereafter, App S Hafis was dislodged.   After being dislodged, HUN YEANG SQUARE shifted out, resulting in PERFECT RUN (App L De Souza) and ONE MORE ACHIEVER taken wider on the track.   Shortly thereafter, LEE’S SURPRISE which was following, had to be steadied to avoid the fallen rider.

Over the final 100M, HUN YEANG SQUARE which was riderless, ran out, hampering and taking I’M A GENIUS (S Anandan) and SNOW DANCER wider.

App S Hafis, the rider of HUN YEANG SQUARE was exempted from weighing-in, examined by the Club Medical Officer and was certified fit.   He was shown the vision of the race in the presence of his master Trainer I.Ismadi.

A post-race veterinary examination of HUN YEANG SQUARE revealed no obvious abnormality.
