HEART OF MY HEART (M O’Brien) attempted to jump the crossing located approximately 50m after the winning post resulting in App. O’Brien being dislodged.

Approaching the winning post DALINGI was tightened for room between POINTE DANCER (A Holt) and CARN (L McCoy) which shifted in.

Stewards questioned trainer S O’dea in relation to the seemingly disappointing performance of POINTE DANCER. Mr O’dea expressed disappointment with the mares run to Stewards and advised that in his opinion POINTE DANCER may not have run out the 1200m of today’s event and may be better suited in races run over shorter distances. Mr O’dea further advised that the mare was on a reasonably quick back up from its last start at Doomben which may not have suited. Stewards noted the explanation.
