Brooker held her position one off he was then forced to race 3 wide. He further added that as the pace was only moderate in the early stages he elected to improve his position leaving the 800m and continued to race 3 wide, and, in his opinion, the gelding only finished the race off fairly.

Wiggins reported behind the barriers that he felt something was amiss with the gelding. A veterinary examination revealed no issues and was passed fit to start.

UNO BEST – Knuckled on jumping away. When questioned regarding his riding of the horse, apprentice M. Murphy stated he had been instructed by trainer P. Facoory to lead and that he complied with those instructions, positioning in front near the 900m, and that from the 500m he attempted to place some pressure on the gelding in an endeavour to increase the tempo and hopefully gain a break on the rest of the field. He said he rode it similarly to what he did at the Gold Coast on 31 December when it won on that occasion. Trainer P. Facoory advised that his instructions were to lead and run along in front as the gelding has a high cruising speed and he had expected the horse to be ridden more patiently when in front today.
