INVINCIBLE DRAGON was withdrawn on 21.4.17 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore with a swollen fetlock).Before being allowed to race again, INVINCIBLE DRAGON will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
CALIFORNIA WHIP began awkwardly and then was crowded for room between WESTERN EXPRESS and LUCKY GIRL which shifted out.
In this incident, WESTERN EXPRESS became unbalanced after being bumped by CALIFORNIA WHIP.
From the outside barrier, GONNA RUN was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.
After the 1100 Metres, LIMITLESS got its head up when proving difficult to settle and being checked away from the heels of WESTERN EXPRESS.
Near the 650 Metres, FIGHT HERO raced tight between WESTERN EXPRESS and LIMITLESS which shifted out to improve.
Passing the 300 Metres, GONNA RUN was shifted to the inside of LUCKY YEAR after being disappointed for running outside that horse and inside PEOPLE'S KNIGHT.
GONNA RUN then had difficulty obtaining clear running for a short distance after the 300 Metres.
After the race, J Moreira (WESTERN EXPRESS) stated that his mount raced "flat".
Mr J Size, the trainer of WESTERN EXPRESS, informed the Stewards that following the horse's disappointing run, it was his intention to spell it.

A veterinary inspection of LIMITLESS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.
WESTERN EXPRESS, MIDNIGHT RATTLER and CALIFORNIA WHIP were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Plunged late, Midnight Rattler enjoyed a lovely run in the box-seat and just got up in a blanket finish for a second win from eight starts this term. He's not easy to get right but certainly has ability. California Whip rushed forward after a tardy break to park second in the run behind Lucky Girl, assumed the lead approaching the 300m and wouldn't go down without a fight. He's got points in hand and will be winning shortly at a mile and under. Firming late in betting, Lucky Year made it a thriller on the wire after taking until the 850m to slot one off with cover in fourth from a wide gate. He's certainly capable of a big run and the 10-pound claimer certainly helped on this occasion. People's Knight peaked on his run 50m out to just miss a placing after working to second 200m out travelling midfield. Prefer him on the dirt where he is unbeaten in two starts. Favourite Western Express didn't let down as expected after covering a bit of ground near the back. He'll have better days. Limitless made some ground without menacing after failing to settle near the back. He needs to take a chill pill to take the next step higher.
