Steward Comment

Near the 300m when racing to the inside of PREPOTANT, was obliged to steady when tightened for room by SORGENTE which shifted out. Jockey R. Wiggins, rider of SORGENTE, was reprimanded for careless riding in this incident under the provisions of AR131(a).

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and raced ungenerously whilst being restrained in the early stages. Jockey B. Thompson reported that he had attempted to settle further back, however the filly raced too keenly in the early stages and he was obliged to race further forward than anticipated.

Steward Comment

A post race veterinary examination revealed no significant abnormalities. Representative for the A. Neasham stable, T. Pollard advised Stewards that the gelding would now be spelled. Mr Pollard was advised that DIRTY MERCHANT must barrier trial to the satisfaction of Stewards prior to racing again.
