P. Wolfgram was issued with a reprimand under the provisions of AR137A(3) for unnecessary use of his whip on SLYSERA in the mounting yard. When assessing this matter stewards took into account P.

Byrne), which when inclined to overrace was taken in slightly by LET IT LOOSE (N. Thomas), which shifted in when not quite clear, after that runner was taken in slightly by EASY SUCCESSFUL. Both L. Cassidy (EASY SUCCESSFUL) and N. Thomas (LET IT LOOSE) were advised to at all times to afford their fellow riders sufficient room when shifting ground.

J. Byrne added that following this INTERNAL REVENUE had a tendency to hang out and at the entrance to the home straight had to be steadied when it hung out across the heels of CHEW THE FAT. Following this INTERNAL REVENUE did take sometime to become balanced under the big weight and over the final 300m INTERNAL REVENUE worked to the line well. A post race veterinary examination of INTERNAL REVENUE revealed no significant findings.

THUNDERSHOT, WHAT HAPPENEDHENRY and CONVICTOR also raced 3 wide throughout the event.

Geran stated that INVENTORY travelled comfortably and was held up in the early stages of the home straight and after securing clear running from that point INVENTORY failed to finish the race off as expected.

L. Cassidy added that after sustaining interference on 2 occasions rounding the home turn and in the early part of the straight the gelding seemed to lose confidence and did not quicken under his riding from that point.
