Trainer J Devine was advised that a warning would be placed on the record of ALIKICK for being difficult to load. A post-race veterinary examination revealed ALIKICK to be showing signs of heat stress and was treated accordingly by the veterinarian.

Steward Comment

Underwent a pre-race veterinary examination after becoming fractious when being reshod in the tie up stalls. The examination revealed no abnormalities. App O. Kendal reported approximately near the 300m her mount may have either resented the tongue control bit, or BIG ROCKET may have held its breathe for an extended period due the abnormal respiratory noise she heard BIG ROCKET display at that moment. Due to this noise, she allowed her mount to be eased down in the home straight shortly after. Trainer D. Whyte advised stewards that he would experiment with gear.

Steward Comment

Fractious in the barriers and then reared several times as the gates opened. After eventually leaving the barriers, GRAND ASCENT then commenced to buck dislodging jockey J. Murphy. Trainer A. Stephens was advised that GRAND ASCENT would be required to officially barrier trial prior to its next start. A post-race veterinary examination revealed minor abrasions to the right hip.
