BIG RIPPA raced 3 wide for the majority of the event.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of ROCK OUR WORLD, K. Pope stated that the horse travelled reasonably well until the 800m, however the colt appeared to resent the kick back and was under pressure a short distance later and failed to finish the race off despite being hard ridden. Trainer T. Miller was at a loss to explain the disappointing performance other than agreeing that ROCK OUR WORLD may not have been comfortable with the kickback from today’s surface. A post-race veterinary examination of ROCK OUR WORLD failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of ZURGE’S BOY, D. Griffin stated that the horse travelled well until near the 500m where he attempted to make some room to gain clear running inside of JUSTOUTASKOOL, however the horse then failed to accelerate and respond and despite being ridden along, did not make any ground over the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary examination of ZURGE’S BOY revealed the horse to be lame in the off foreleg. Trainer’s representative Mr K.
