YOSSARIAN was caught three wide after the start and raced three wide for the entire event.

L. Morrison, the rider of LEGAL BRIEF, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a), the careless riding being that near the 2000m she permitted her mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of DREAM GAL (J.

As J. Bowditch was unable to arrive on course on time due to traffic difficulties, K. Forrester was substituted as the rider of ONE FOR THE GIRLS.

ATOMIC HUSS reared behind the barriers, dislodging S. Scriven. A veterinary examination of ATOMIC HUSS revealed the horse was clear to race. S. Scriven was also cleared to ride. A warning was issued to the connections of ATOMIC HUSS for its behaviour at the barriers.

ONE FOR THE GIRLS (K. Forrester) jumped outwards at the start and made contact with ATOMIC HUSS (S. Scriven). MARTINI PRINCESS (T. Pannell) had to be checked in this incident when tightened between ATOMIC HUSS and GOLD OMEGA (J. Byrne) which shifted inwards away from BEGUILING STAR (R. Plumb).

ANCIENT KING (J. Byrne) overraced rounding the first turn and continued to pull hard for some distance before tiring over the latter stages.

Sharp). FOREVER AMEN then attempted to move away from the rails and made heavy contact with GULLCATCHER, resulting in both horses becoming unbalanced and racing ungenerously for some distance.
