1st – La Moneta 2nd – Seconde 3rd – Jenn 4th – Gondwana Girl

Due to transport difficulties, S. Bogenhunber was unable to fulfil her engagement on TELESTO’S GEM and was replaced by Z. Landry.

PARTY RITZ (P. Hammersley) jumped away awkwardly, making contact with VIETNAMS OVER (P. Randall).

Approaching the 700m, SECONDE, when racing greenly, shifted away from the heels of SWOOPS, resulting in MATINEEIDOL, which was racing to the outside, being forced to ease off the heels of DRAMA IN THE WINGS (J. Warrington).

On entering the straight, VIETNAMS OVER shifted out under pressure, forcing SAVANNA LASS (A. Taylor) wider on the track.

DRAMA IN THE WINGS, SECONDE and SWOOPS all raced wide throughout.

SAVANNA LASS (A. Taylor) raced greenly throughout.

On pulling up after the winning post, TELESTO’S GEM shifted out to avoid the heels of JENN (S. Katsidis) and in doing so blundered, dislodging Z. Landry.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of LA MONETA, trainer R. Kirwin stated that at its first start, the filly had been caught wide and back in the field and as a result failed to run on, and at its last start LA MONETA had a hard run in front and did not run out the 1313m. R. Kirwin further explained that the filly had drawn better today then in previous starts, and today’s 900m distance was a more suitable distance and he expected LA MONETA to race well.

When questioned regarding the seemingly improved performance of SUBMERSIBLE, trainer R.
