START THE SHOW – Awkward at heels near the 400m. Rider L. Cassidy explained that at the horse's first start it had shown early speed but despite its awkward draw he was confident the filly would be able to take up a forward position. Jockey Cassidy stated that the filly was fractious in the gates and when the start was effected despite his riding it failed to muster early speed and consequently raced much further back than he anticipated. Jockey Cassidy added that from the 600m he placed his mount under pressure however, it did not respond as he would have liked and in his opinion was most disappointing. Trainer K. Schweida was unable to offer any tangible explanation for the disappointing performance and undertook to advise stewards of the results of veterinary and blood tests conducted in the days subsequent to the race.
