                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Leaving the 800m LORD ALISTAIR (C. Munce) had to be steadied off the heels of TORNADOES after hanging in.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          TRICKIN (B. Thomson) became unbalanced near the 500m.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 150m SHOW RULER (M. Cahill) shifted in and away from TORNADOES which shifted in under pressure.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          When questioned regarding the seemingly disappointing performance of SHOW RULER, jockey M. Cahill stated that after travelling well in the early and middle stages the gelding failed to respond to his riding in the straight and in his opinion was disappointing. Trainer T. Miller stated that whilst he was a little disappointed with the horse's performance today, he felt that the quick back-up from last week may have had a telling effect on the horse's performance today. A post-race veterinary examination of SHOW RULER revealed the presence of a slight laceration to its near hind leg.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          ITS JUST SMALLTALK (A.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          REMARKABLE (A.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          After racing wide throughout the event, SHEER ECHELON (K. Pope) hung out after leaving the 800m and continued to hang out rounding the home turn and shifted out under pressure in the straight. Trainer R. McCall indicated that he would experiment with the addition of blinkers in an effort to have the horse race tractably. A warning was issued.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          On return to scale REMARKABLE took charge of its rider apprentice A. Taylor and galloped for some distance before being pulled up. A post-race veterinary examination of REMARKABLE revealed no abnormalities. Apprentice Taylor was examined by the Club's doctor and cleared to fulfil her remaining engagements.

Arnold was ill, apprentice D. McWhinney was substituted as the rider of JOY'S SPIRIT. Apprentice Arnold was advised that he must produce a medical clearance prior to resuming race riding.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The start was delayed slightly when, at the request of its rider, LAPETUS (A. Spinks) was examined by the veterinary surgeon and cleared to start.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          JOY'S SPIRIT (D. McWhinney) was slow to begin.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          STALWART EMMA (C. Priest), which was slow to begin, shifted in making contact with the hind quarters of LAPETUS.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          OVER FRIENDLY (E. Wilkinson) and HI JO SILVER (M. Cahill) made contact on jumping away as a result of both horses shifting ground.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 800m CRIMSON WARRIOR (N. Thomas) had to be steadied to avoid the heels of HI JO SILVER which shifted in. M. Cahill, the rider of HI JO SILVER, was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          OVER FRIENDLY shifted in of its own accord leaving the 800m, making contact with the running rail.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          OVER FRIENDLY overraced in the middle stages.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          When questioned regarding the early tactics adopted on DUKE OF DANES, C. Munce stated that whilst it was not his intention to lead as he did, DUKE OF DANES began very well and found the lead without being pressured and in his opinion raced keenly due to the addition of pacifiers for the first time and also being fresh with it being a month between runs. Stewards noted his explanation.

Priest) clipped the heels of O'REILLY'S GOLD (D. Griffin) and blundered. It was established that near the 800m D. Griffin, the rider of O'REILLY'S GOLD, which was racing in a four-wide position, elected to go forward and once assuming the lead restrained his mount slightly resulting in LAUGHING CRUSADER, which was following, improving quickly onto the heels of O'REILLY'S GOLD, clipping that runner's heels and blundering. Whilst stewards were of the opinion that D. Griffin had not steadied the pace excessively, the incident occurred due to a combination of apprentice Priest failing to steady her mount quickly enough and the pace being steadied slightly. In the circumstances stewards took no direct action other than to remind apprentice Priest of her responsibility to ride in a manner that does not compromise the safety of herself or other riders.

Priest, the rider of LAUGHING CRUSADER, pleaded guilty to a charge under AR. 137A(5)(a)(ii) of using the whip in a forehand manner on more than five occasions prior to the 100m and was fined $200.

Tanti stated that the horse raced ungenerously in the early stages and he believed that the addition of blinkers as well as the horse being fresh due to a month between runs may have contributed to the performance. He advised stewards he had recommended to the trainer that the blinkers be removed. A post-race veterinary examination of SIONG TEE failed to reveal any abnormalities.

Thomas stated that the horse travelled well until near the 800m, however when the pace quickened the horse failed to respond to his riding and in his opinion was disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination of PATMOSS failed to reveal any abnormalities.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          IN LIGHTS (D. Griffin) and SUNDAY BELLE (D. McWhinney) raced wide for the majority of the event.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 500m ALONG CAME DOLLY (C. Munce) improved quickly on to the heels of the tiring MISHANI SHIVA and as a result clipped that runner's heels and blundered. HARISH (S. Galloway) and NOT A LADY (E. Wilkinson), which were following, were inconvenienced as a consequence.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          MISS VITALITY had difficulty obtaining clear running near the 400m.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A post-race veterinary examination of ALONG CAME DOLLY (C. Munce), which performed below expectations, revealed no significant abnormalities.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of CLEAR DROP, trainer R. McCall stated that in his opinion the horse may have come to the end of its preparation and it is his intention that the horse be sent for an immediate spell. A post-race veterinary examination of CLEAR DROP revealed no significant abnormalities.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          FIERY CINDER (M.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          CANDICE (K.

Hansen was fined $100 under LR. 67 for failing to declare D. Missen as the rider of PRINCE PUDDLES by the prescribed time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          UNDERTHEBONNET (J. Wood) was slow to begin.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Shortly after the start SHOWELLEN (A. Taylor) was tightened for room between RUNNING VIXEN (P. Hammersley) and PRINCE PUDDLES (D. Missen), both of which shifted ground.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          KASSMER (C. Priest) and RED HUSSERATI (Mathew Palmer) raced wide for the majority of the event.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 800m MISHANI STEELE (O. Turpin) had to be steadied when crowded for room between I'M ALL HEART (A. Spinks) and LA MARIPOSA (C. Munce), which shifted in and away from PRINCE PUDDLES and then commenced to race ungenerously for some distance and as a result lost ground.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          When questioned into the performance of UNDERTHEBONNET, apprentice J. Wood stated that after being slow to begin the gelding raced greenly for the majority of the event and was inclined to hang in in the early and middle stages and near the 200m improved on to the heels of the tiring I'M ALL HEART and had to shift to the inside of that runner to obtain clear running and found the line strongly. Apprentice Wood stated that he advised connections that he felt the horse would benefit from the addition of blinkers. Stewards noted his explanation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A post-race veterinary examination of MISHANI STEELE revealed no abnormalities.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A post-race veterinary examination of LA MARIPOSA revealed no abnormalities.
