Hellyer, the rider of MR FAVULOUS, reported that near the 800m the bit pulled through that colt's mouth, which placed him at a disadvantage for the remainder of the event.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          On return to scale a protest was lodged by G. Colless, the rider of 2nd placegetter FIVE O'CLOCK, against SUSASHI (E. Wilkinson) being declared the winner, alleging interference inside the final 100m. After taking evidence from all parties it was established that SUSASHI did shift out under pressure from the 100m and make contact with FIVE O'CLOCK near the 50m which resulted in FIVE O'CLOCK becoming unbalanced. In considering the matter, stewards were comfortably satisfied that the interference sustained in this incident exceeded the margin of a head and as a result upheld the objection and gave correct weight on the revised numbers of 2, 8, 1 and 7. E. Wilkinson was advised that in future he must stop riding and straighten his mounts sooner than he did on this occasion.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A post-race veterinary examination of O'JUNIOR, which trailed the field throughout the race, did not reveal any significant findings. Stable representative for trainer R. Bradshaw was advised that O'JUNIOR must compete in an official trial for what stewards deemed to be an unsatisfactory performance.

Hammersley was questioned regarding the riding tactics he adopted on IMAGERY where he allowed the gelding to proceed forward in the early stages and cross to the lead after passing the 800m. P. Hammersley advised that he was instructed to ride the horse with cover, however he was unable to comply with these instructions after being forced to race wide in the early stages so he made the decision to allow IMAGERY to stride forward. P. Hammersley added that IMAGERY will be better suited when it is able to obtain cover in its races. Stewards noted the explanation of P. Hammersley.

Seamer was questioned regarding the riding tactics he adopted on USAIN PRINCE where after assuming the lead near the 900m he surrendered that position and USAIN PRINCE raced fiercely at the heels of the leader IMAGERY. S. Seamer explained that approaching the first turn near the 800m USAIN PRINCE began to race ungenerously so he elected to allow IMAGERY to cross to the lead, however USAIN PRINCE did not settle and for some distance he had to restrain to avoid the heels of IMAGERY. Stewards noted the explanation of S. Seamer who agreed that in hindsight it may have been better retaining the lead.

Cassidy, the rider of IF IT CAN IT WILL, explained that the gelding travelled well until placed under pressure after passing the 600m and from that point raced greenly and did not finish the race off as expected from that point. Jockey Cassidy was of the opinion that IF IT CAN IT WILL will be better suited over a longer distance than today's race and a drop back in class in future starts. A post-race veterinary examination of IF IT CAN IT WILL revealed no abnormalities.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          When questioned, C. Munce, the rider of POWER OF ED, explained that he had no specific instructions, however in the early stages from the wide barrier POWER OF ED, which was racing in blinkers for the first time, overraced and he was left with no other alternative than to proceed forward to the lead. Jockey Munce added he was of the opinion that POWER OF ED was not suited racing in blinkers for the first time and as a consequence he had difficulty getting the colt to settle throughout.

Morris, the rider of PATTIES MATE, was issued with a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a) in that near the 900m he permitted his mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of SHOOTING SCENE (C. Munce), resulting in SHOOTING SCENE being tightened on to SAVE A BUCK (J. Taylor) and having to be restrained. After M. Morris pleaded not guilty and made further submissions, stewards were of the view that GROWSIR, when being restrained, may have shifted out slightly which contributed to the incident and for that reason the charge was not sustained.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Approaching and rounding the home turn UNSUPERVISED (L. Cassidy) was held up and unable to improve and approaching the 100m was inconvenienced by KANETOSHI KING, which shifted in slightly under pressure.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Rounding the home turn MR HORNBLOWER (M. Wood) was held up and unable to improve.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Stewards sought an explanation from L. Cassidy regarding the performance of UNSUPERVISED. L. Cassidy explained that the gelding travelled well, however he was unable to test the horse in his normal manner in the home straight as the horse resented racing in restricted room between SHOOTING SCENE and KANETOSHI KING.

Kehoe, the rider of 4th placegetter ROCKDALE, was found guilty of a charge under AR. 137(b) in that she failed to ride her mount out to the end of the race and was fined $400. In assessing penalty, stewards took into consideration E. Kehoe's relative inexperience riding in the metropolitan area and her previously unblemished record.

Stewart) commenced to overrace and had to be checked to avoid the heels of FALCO STAR (P. Hammersley). GHETTO BLASTER continued to race ungenerously and after passing the 700m again had to be checked to avoid the heels of FALCO STAR.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          BLAZING HEARTS also overraced in the early stages and after passing the 800m had to be checked to avoid the heels of FUNTANTES (J.

Cahill) commenced to overrace and had to be checked off the heels of FEMINA FASHION (E. Wilkinson). TOUR GUIDE (R. Wiggins), which was trailing, also had to be checked as a consequence.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          MR SLICK, OLLIE VOLLIE (S.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          In the early stages of the home straight FUNTANTES was held up and unable to obtain clear running.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Approaching the 200m HEART OF THE CITI (M. Radecker) had to be eased to avoid the heels of GHETTO BLASTER which shifted out to improve when not sufficiently clear. B. Stewart, the rider of GHETTO BLASTER, was issued with a reprimand and advised to exercise greater care when shifting ground in future.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Over the concluding stages PHELAN READY was held up and unable to improve when placed awkwardly at the heels of FEMINA FASHION.
