BRONTE BABE – Trainer B. Hull advised the mare would be ridden further back in the field with cover today if circumstances permit.  The mare settled midfield with cover.
 
MO TUCKER – Slow to begin.  Eased out of the event passing the 500m.  A post race veterinary examination revealed the filly to have sustained a severed off hind tendon, consistent with being galloped on.  Trainer B.

CELLYSE – Hampered at the start.
BRAND WORKS – Shifted in under pressure passing the 200m.
 
MEDIEVAL – When questioned as to his riding rounding the home turn jockey M. McGuren stated that he was reluctant to improve to the inside of STORMY DESTINY at that point, as that gelding was shifting ground and he was also concerned that he may become held up behind the leader in the early stages of the home straight.  He therefore elected to wait until the entrance to the home straight to shift out around the heels of STORMY DESTINY to secure clear running.  Jockey McGuren added that the gelding failed to quicken as expected and despite having clear running for the entire home straight was unable to run the leader down.  His explanation was noted.
