AUSTREET (P Denton) – Commenced awkwardly.

SPRINGER (S Tsaikos) – Underwent a veterinary examination behind the barriers and past fit to start. When questioned about the lack of vigour shown on his mount throughout the race, rider reported that he was of the opinion that the mare was reluctant to stretch out early and felt something may have been amiss. S Tsaikos further added that the mare was striding out better towards the end of the event. A further veterinary examination failed to reveal any apparent abnormalities. Trainer R Viney was advised that the mare would need to barrier trial to the satisfaction of the Stewards and perform in a more competitive manner.
