BIG SAGA – A post race veterinary examination of the horse, which finished a distant last, revealed shinsoreness in both forelegs. Connections were advised that a veterinary clearance must be provided prior to its next race start.

TARBET – Jockey D. Browne reported that it had not been his intention to lead, however after the horse began well it became apparent during the first 200m that he would not be able to obtain a position closer to the fence with cover and therefore elected to allow his mount to stride forward, affording him a position one off the fence outside the leader.


Race 2: Bampak Building Class 1 H'cap – 1400m
