YOUTHFUL JET (A. Coome) and DEMOS (P. Cullen) were both slow to begin.

STRAIGHT A STUDENT (A. Merritt) and STAR REVUNDO (D. Missen) both raced wide throughout.

Near the 800m DEMOS had to be steadied when racing in restricted room to the inside of MORE LIPS (J. Long) which sifted in momentarily.

Upon returning to scale Jockey T. Bannon, the rider of second past the post I’M HOT, requested to view the official print for 1st place. After viewing the official print Jockey Bannon was satisfied that I’M HOT had in fact finished second by a nose margin and subsequently correct weight was declared on the numbers semaphored by the judge.

M. Elliott the rider of SHE’S RUSHIN reported that near the 450m the mare began to feel awkward in its action and as such he elected to ease SHE’S RUSHIN out of the event. A post race veterinary examination of SHE’S RUSHIN revealed the mare to be slightly tied up and exhibiting signs of a slower than normal recovery rate. Stable foreman B. Williams was advised that a veterinary certificate of clearance would be required for SHE’S RUSHIN before the mare would be permitted to race again.
