Leaving the 800m, FRENCH LORD (A. Taylor) improved up on to the heels of KID CREOLE (M. Radecker) and when being steadied got its head up and shifted out. FRENCH LORD was then forced to race 3 wide for the remainder of the event.

POM POM GIRL (M. Radecker), after being slowly away, was tightened for room shortly after the start between LITTLE CLOUD (M. Price) and STONETOWN STAR (Z. Landry), both of which shifted ground.

Approaching the 10Dm, STONETOWN STAR shifted out abruptly when struck with the whip, hampering RIVIERA SUR MER.
Near the 50m, ELLEANDEE (J. Murphy) was momentarily held up and obliged to alter course to obtain clear running.

RIVIERA SUR MER (M. Palmer), POM POM GIRL and INSCRIBE SMYTZER raced wide throughout the event.
When questioned regarding the apparent change of tactics employed on IRISH JOY today, apprentice A. Taylor stated that she had been instructed to ride the filly in a forward position, which was consistent with recent starts, however she had received tightening shortly after jumping away and although she had attempted to take up a forward position, IRISH JOY was unable to do so and as a result she was obliged to restrain the filly when it became apparent that she would be forced to race wide if she continued to push forward. A. Taylor further stated that when endeavouring to obtain a position closer to the fence she had been forced to take up a position further back than she had anticipated, however felt she had no other alternative. Apprentice Taylor’s explanation was noted.

Sharp) when that horse shifted in. A short distance later, MIXED DOZEN shifted in, again
placing those runners in restricted room for a short distance.
At the 900m, BARBARIAN shifted in, making contact with BELLES OPINION, which in turn shifted in, bumping CAPTAIN BLIGH.

REZONE (K. Pope) was slow to begin.

Near the 400m, CLARENDON BLUE (C. Spry) had to be steadied when momentarily tightened for room by SANSABA, which shifted in.
When questioned regarding the apparent change of tactics employed on GRANADORA, J. Bowditch stated that he had been instructed to lead on the gelding, however after beginning slowly he was reluctant to bustle the horse forward in the early stages under his 58.5 kilograms and elected to take a sit. J. Bowditch further stated that when the pace slackened near the 1400m he was able to allow the gelding to stride forward and take up a position near the lead. Trainer G. Kennedy confirmed the instructions and advised stewards that whilst it was customary for GRANADORA to lead, he had advised J. Bowditch that in view of the 58.5 kilogram impost he was to use his discretion and take a sit if necessary. The explanation was noted.

Hammersley), which in turn shifted out, resulting in AUK LANDING (K. Yoshida) having to be steadied when taken across the heels of GREENLAW.

S. Drake, rider of HEY LORENZO, was reprimanded for allowing her mount to shift in approaching the winning post on the first occasion when not sufficiently clear of BREAKING THE RULES (D. Peisley), resulting in that horse having to be steadied.
