When questioned about the improved performance of BARHILL, stable representative P Overell stated that after the mare’s disappointing performance at her previous start, he had considered selling the mare and the only reason he could give for today’s performance, is she may prefer a track that has been affected by rain, explanation noted.

DANCING SOUND was held up for clear running from leaving the 400m to the early stages of the home straight.

When questioned about the disappointing performance of STELLAR SPECTRA, apprentice H Akiyama said the only excuse he could give was that his mount hung out from the 800m, which prevented him from improving his position in the middle stages, explanation noted.

Approaching the 250m VIVENDI was momentarily held up for clear running.

When questioned why their mounts got so far in front in the early and middle stages, J Stanley (WHISKEY ON ICE) stated that he intended to ride his mount in behind MUSTANG MAGIC, but going to the first turn he had to come out from behind MUSTANG MAGIC as his mount was pulling hard and from that point his mount refused to settle.
