| 3 | 57.5kg | 2.70 | 800m: 5th 400m: 6th | Approaching the 600m had to be restrained after improving onto heels. Held up in the early stages of the home straight. Near the 100m had to be steadied when tightened for room between KATY BOOM and STEELZ TIME both of which shifted ground marginally. | $6 | |||
| 2 | 55.0kg | 3.00 | 800m: 2nd 400m: 4th | Questd re tactics which firmed in betting market, reasons for settling closer on speed than at recent starts. Jockeys instructions to be positive out of barriers attempt to obtain forward position. After doing so, mare travelled well. Over concluding stages failed to finish race off. Trainer confirmed instructions. Noted mare has received interference at start of last 2 races and settled further back than anticipated. Mare always shown good early barrier speed. Has issued similar instructions previously. Advised Mr Tyrrell in future expected to inform stewards of any change of tactics. | $5 | |||
| 4 | 58.0kg | 4.25 | 800m: 3rd 400m: 3rd | Near the 1000m had to be steadied. | $21 | |||

| 6 | 58.5kg | 5.65 | 800m: 4th 400m: 2nd | Raced 3 wide without cover throughout. Jockey J Stanley reported at scale that his mount raced greenly throughout the event. | $71 | |||
| 10 | 58.0kg | 6.40 | 800m: 11th 400m: 11th | Slow into stride. | $21 | |||
| 5 | 56.5kg | 6.60 | 800m: 7th 400m: 7th | Began awkwardly, shifted out and made contact with MONTE SANTO. Stewards sought an explanation for the disappointing performance from Jockey A Allen who stated the mare failed to travel comfortably and was inclined to roll in and away from other runners and when placed under pressure in home straight, failed to respond to his riding. In his opinion the mare may have come to the end of current preparation. Post race vet exam, no abnormalities. Trainer advised mare to be sent for spell. | $2.90 | |||
