In the middle stages, ELITE CONQUEROR (App R Nuqman) raced wide.
BLUE EYED BOY (R Rueven) and MEWTWO (C Goon) were slow into stride.
When making ground in the straight, LIM’S MASTER ran onto the heels of DETERMINETOSTRIKE (App L De Souza). App A Zaimuddin advised that he had been held tight inside GOD’S FATE (App CK Khaw) and LIM’S MASTER commenced to race strongly when he had progressed behind DETERMINETOSTRIKE. He was advised to exercise greater action when he rides his mounts out to ensure he has a secure passage.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that GOD’S FATE returned with a cut on the off fore coronary band. The mare will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
RACE 3 (R049) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

The whip of Jockey AK Lim (SASA LADY) was struck from his hand accidentally by the whip of App L De Souza (GORDON G) near the 300M.
ASIA was blocked for a clear run and had to be steadied off the heels of SEGAR THE BEST (App A Zaimuddin) near the 275M when SEGAR THE BEST drifted out.
After the winning post, GORDON G rolled in, crowding SASA LADY and HYDRANT (App A Suriya). App L De Souza (GORDON G) was reprimanded and advised that the Stewards considered that an incident after the post could be deemed as careless riding.

RACE 7 (R053) CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)
When being loaded, it was ascertained that the rear gate on stall 7 was faulty and as such that stall was omitted.
HAPPY DAYZ (App A Suriya) was slow to begin.
Shortly after the start, D’GREAT COMMAND (R Shafiq) and ELITE SILENCER (App R Nuqman) buffeted.
D’GREAT COMMAND was inclined to race erratically in the straight, and on several occasions, impeded ELITE SILENCER which had to be taken wide.
HORSEH (HS Gill) raced wide and took the turn into the straight wide. When questioned, Jockey HS Gill stated that he had intended to ride midfield with cover, however, runners had kicked up on his inside, and he had not wished to ease back and was unable to progress forward. As such, HORSEH was obliged to cover a considerable amount of ground.
A post-race veterinary examination of NORTHERN KNIGHT (C Goon) revealed no significant finding.

RACE 8 (R054) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)
As there was no other suitable rider available without setting a precedent, specific permission was granted by the Racing Stewards for Jockey HK Cheng to be the replacement rider of KHUDAWAND as Jockey R Shafiq was stood down by the Club Doctor.
POKEMON BABY (AK Lim) which was unable to be loaded, will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again. The gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 4:06pm.
HAYTHAM (B Pinheiro) and ZA’EM (J De Souza) were slow to begin.
DUNE SAGA (App CK Khaw) and HAYTHAM were inclined to lay inwards in the straight.
When questioned as to why he was so far back, Jockey B Pinheiro advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding where it was comfortable as its previous starts had been less than ideal. He had been blocked early and although in a rearward position, believed that with the very fast early pace would allow him to make ground in the straight.
Trainer AB Abdullah confirmed these instructions and advised that HAYTHAM was a very big horse which he had trouble in its training. Given the performance, the Stewards advised that HAYTHAM will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again due to racing intractability.
App S Rosmizan (SUPER LINE), when questioned, advised that from his wide barrier draw, he wanted to have SUPER LINE race handy but he had been unable to secure a forward position and he felt that the nature of the track (yielding) had adversely affected the gelding’s ability to race with a fast early pace
Jockey HS Gill (BIG BUS) advised that BIG BUS had thrown its head prior to the start being effected and fly-jumped, resulting in him being in a rearward positon rather than being handy. Whilst this had not been ideal for BIG BUS, he believed that the fast early pace would allow BIG BUS to make ground in the straight. The gelding had been uncomfortable that the “sticky” nature of the track.

RACE 9 (R055) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)
L’KEN (C Goon) was slow to begin.
Jockey HK Cheng was questioned regarding his riding of READY TO ROLL. He stated that he had been instructed to ride off the pace, however, after jumping extremely well, READY TO ROLL had pulled very hard and despite his efforts, it led by a considerable margin. He believed that the increase in distance from its previous start, allowed it to lead easily and it had not been his intention to ride in this manner.
