Near the 800m, BELLA MONTANA (S. Bogenhuber) had to be restrained off the heels of TRADIES HOPE (K. Forrester) when taken in slightly by TALLYHO (S. Egan), which itself was taken in by EDWARDSCISSORHANDS. In the circumstances, no action was taken.

Near the 400m, DANEREADY (N. Tomizawa) was steadied when disappointed for a run between TALLYHO (S. Egan) and DE NIECE (S. Drake), which shifted out.

After the 400m, BELLA MONTANA, which was hanging in badly, was checked to avoid the heels of CERULEAN BLUE (N. Yamada), which was weakening.

Crompton, trainer of TALLYHO, and to allow apprentice Egan to have his master present.
