BRIEF SOJOURN – When questioned regarding the tactics adopted, jockey B Ainsworth stated that after beginning well she attempted to take up a position behind BOOM CHUGGA LUGGA who had crossed her, however when METRICAL had followed that runner she was mindful of her mounts tendency to hang out and therefore elected to steady her mount in an attempt to race behind METRICAL. She added that after getting her mount to settle, she was of the opinion that BRIEF SOJOURN, who was having its first start today, needs an uninterrupted run and rather than place her mount in restricted room, she elected to ease around the heels of THE RED DANCER and then make a long sustained run around the field. Stewards noted the explanation.
 
DIAMOND BEANS – Slow into stride.
 
IN ORDER – As J Morris was unable to fulfill his engagement due to traffic difficulties, he was initially replaced by N Tomizawa. When jockey Tomizawa also experienced traffic difficulties, he was then replaced by R Goldsbury.

After viewing the films, both Jockeys advised that neither did not wish to proceed with a protest and correct weight was declared on the semaphored placings.

MAC'S GAL – Inclined to lay out over the concluding stages.
 
JAKAMA – When questioned regarding todays performance, Apprentice A Jones, in the presence of Trainer J Dann stated that her mount travelled well in the early and middle stages however when rounding the home turn she was momentarily held up on the heels of PHABENI and when OUR ROCKY improved to her outside, she was obliged to shift to the inside to obtain clear running. She further stated that she elected to ride her mount hands and heels to the line as she didn’t feel comfortable using her whip due to her lack of experience. Stewards noted her explanation.
 
SECRET CONQUEST – Began awkwardly.
 
HEKANSPLIT – When questioned regarding the disappointing performance, jockey C Caserta could offer no explanation for the poor performance and added that HEKANSPLIT was a beaten horse a long way out and as a result, elected not to place the gelding under any further pressure.
