Near the 400m, WOOLGAR ROAD (C Maund) was tightened for room and forced to ease when raced between MISS MARGANI and SCARLETT SUN (R Ride) which blundered and shifted out after improving onto the heels of the tiring WITH FRIENDS (S Apthorpe).
STALWART PETRA (R Goltz) raced ungenerously and shifted wider on the track in the early stages of the home straight.
When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of SCARLETT SUN, App. R Ride advised that the horse never travelled comfortably during the event and when asked to improve from the 600m failed to respond to her riding and proved disappointing in the run to the finish. App Ride added that in her opinion SCARLETT SUN may have come to the end of its preparation.
Stewards questioned trainer R Hurley in relation to the seemingly improved performance of MAIANBAR. Mr Hurley advised that the horse had trained off towards the end of its last preparation however prior to this its form had been quite satisfactory. Mr Hurley further advised that the geldings work after being spelled had been good and expected a forward showing first up today. Mr Hurley added that he had removed the Blinkers from MAIANBAR for the first time today which may have contributed to the improved showing. Stewards noted the explanation.
