| 6 | 55.5kg | - | 1-28.36 | 800m: 6th 400m: 8th | Raced three wide throughout the event. Stewards questioned trainer J. Crompton regarding the horse’s perceived form improvement. Ms Crompton stated that with DOUBLE IMPACT being a 9-year-old and having its fourth run back from a 6-month spell, she was finding it difficult to raise the horse’s fitness level and also forced to race the gelding over unsuitable distances. She added that tonight’s distance and the wet track played in the gelding’s favour. Stewards noted her comments | $13 | ||
