Fractious leaving the enclosure. Rider dislodged en route to the barriers, taking a seemingly harmless fall, remounted and fulfilled her engagement. Laid in approaching the 400m and then again in the home straight, and over the concluding stages bumped LEGS UNBARRED.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and lost ground. Got its head up when racing keenly in the early stages. Tightened for room near the 1300m and had to be steadied when LITTLE DRUMMER BOY was taken in slightly by BOMBAY BULLET. M. Hellyer, the rider of BOMBAY BULLET, was reminded of his responsibilities when shifting ground

Improved on to heels and shifted out near the 1500m and from that point raced wide until finding a position with cover near the 900m.

Bumped at the start. Forced wider near the 1400m. M. Hellyer was fined $300 for returning to scale more than half a kilogram over the horse’s allotted weight.

Got its head up near the 1500m when being restrained. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be lame in the off foreleg. Connections were advised that the horse will require a veterinary clearance prior to being permitted to race again.

Overraced and was unable to obtain a position with cover and raced three wide throughout. Crowded for room when weakening near the 600m.
