VIRAL – Slow to begin. Inconvenienced by a fallen runner approaching the 600m. When questioned, J. Lloyd stated that connections had initially wanted to race back off the pace, however, the gelding overreacted when being steadied shortly after jumping and got its head up, resulting in it being further back than they had anticipated. He further stated that his mount was inconvenienced severely when another runner broke down, resulting in him having to take evasive action passing the 600m. He added that he then rode the gelding along in the straight, however it failed to respond and he was not entirely happy with its action and as a result he eased it down in the latter stages of the race. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be lame in the near foreleg. Trainer T. Edmonds was advised that the horse will require a veterinary clearance prior to resuming racing.

Riding replacements in Races 7 and 9 were made as per the stewards race day summary. Apprentice Murphy was advised that he would be required to provide a medical clearance and undertake a cognitive test prior to resuming riding.
