| 3 | 56.5kg | 1.00 | 800m: 1st 400m: 1st | Overraced when the pace was only steady in the early stages before being allowed to stride forward and assume the lead passing the 1000m. | $1.80 | |||
| 1 | 58.0kg | 3.00 | 800m: 2nd 400m: 2nd | - | $6.50 | |||
| 4 | 56.0kg | 6.30 | 800m: 5th 400m: 5th | Slow to begin. | $10 | |||
| 2 | 60.0kg | 7.60 | 800m: 3rd 400m: 3rd | Overraced when the pace was only steady in the early stages. Forced wider near the 850m and raced 3 wide without cover from that point. Stewards spoke with trainer in regarding the horse’s performance. He indicated that when the horse overraced in the early stages he would have preferred jockey Fradd to allow the horse to stride forward to the lead as the horse has raced successfully when being permitted to lead when racing in New Zealand. He believed that being forced to race three wide and carrying 60kg had a detrimental effect on the horse’s overall performance. Vetted, no abnormalities. | $7.50 | |||
