MAGICAL FILLY (Shadab Khan) jumped out awkwardly.

At the 500 Metres EMANCIPATION (B Mahesh) steadied of the heels of BATTLE EMPRESS (P. Kiran Rai).

Trainer Mr. Faraz Arshad and Jockey Imran Khan were questioned regarding the apparent poor performance of CONJURER. Jockey Imran Khan said he was instructed to ride CONJURER forward but the gelding did not show early speed even though urged along. He was trapped four wide and then taken wider on the home turn to improve his position. He added that CONJURER raced greenly in the straight but gave nothing under his hard riding. Trainer Faraz Arshad confirmed the instructions and was disappointed in the performance of CONJURER as he thought it would win. He dropped in Class to find a weaker field and went to the 1400 Metres as the horse had run on well in the previous start over 1100 Metres. The horse was impounded for veterinary examination but no abnormality was reported.

Trainer Mr. R.V. Manohar and Jockey S. Shiva Kumar were asked if there was anything within their knowledge that could account for the improved performance of NOBLE PRINCESS. Jockey Shiva Kumar stated he was instructed to ride the mare in 5th or 6th when he rode her at her previous start on 25th May 2014 in Race No.11. The mare was slow to jump but he pushed her along to be wide racing mid field by the 900 Metres where she commenced to lose ground. He added that she did little in the straight and he felt she needed the race. Shiva Kumar further stated that he rides her work and she has been working keenly since that race. Trainer Manohar said she has improved since her last start, he has changed her shoeing from steel to aluminum and felt the field today was not very strong. Their explanations were noted.

MAGICAL FILLY (Shadab Khan) sustained cut injury on right fore cannon.
