PULSE raced wide the majority of the event.

In the home straight AMAZING DRAGON was inclined to hang in.



Race 3: MEMERAMBI SUSTAIN COUNTRY OPEN 900m
1st – Amber Ale 2nd – Conahy 3rd – Jam Tin 4th – Outcrop


Approaching the 800m CONAHY (N. Ogura) when overracing at the heels of JAM TIN (G. Geran) shifted out, forcing TORNADOES (C. Kearney) out onto TYCOON’S PRIDE (J. Orman) causing that runner to shift out and make contact with FLYING REBEL (L. Appo). In this incident Apprentice N. Ogura was issued with a server reprimand.

Near the 600m, JAM TIN had to be steadied when racing to the inside of OUTCROP (C. Eaton) which shifted in.

Approaching the 150m, BANNETT (A. Taylor) raced in restricted room, and was steadied when improving to the inside of FLYING REBEL which shifted in. BANNETT was again placed in restricted room over the concluding stages, when racing to the inside of FLYING REBEL. L. Appo was advised to exercise more care.

TORNADOES which was found to have had the presence of blood from both nostrils following the running of this event, underwent a post race veterinary examination, which could not rule out the possibility of external trauma being the reason for the presence of the blood. After hearing a report from jockey C. Kearney, and the evidence from the veterinary officer, stewards could not be satisfied that the blood was a result of a bleeding attack, and therefore took no further action.
