When questioned regarding his riding of the gelding, apprentice N. Keal stated that he was instructed to take up a forward position. He added that his mount proved difficult to settle and raced keenly in the early and middle stages and approaching the 1200m after BLAZING SUNRISE had improved to take up the lead, AL JOOD, which was racing to his outside, commenced to overrace and shifted outwards, making contact with his mount, resulting in it being carried wider. He then looked to try and slot in trailing AL JOOD, but DAWSON DELIGHT had improved to his inside and thereafter he raced three wide, however he stated that the gelding still travelled well until placed under pressure when it failed to respond. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities.
