Rounding the home turn BOLD OUTBACK (K. Ballard), raced in restricted room between CLASSIC CADILLAC (T. Brummell) and DESERT SWEEP. Jockey K. BALLARD reported that this incident did not affected BOLD OUTBACK’S performance and it was under pressure at this stage of the race.

Sue-San advised the gelding was coming back from 1600 metres at its last start and has had poor recent form, but he could offer no other reason for the poor performance today.
