As L. Dittman was indisposed, M. McNab was the replacement rider. A post race veterinary examination revealed the horse was suffering from heat stress.

Steward Comment

Stewards questioned apprentice J. Murphy regarding the tactics adopted which resulted in his mount being positioned 3 wide outside the lead during the middle stages. He stated that he had been instructed to lead, however after beginning awkwardly and riding aggressively in the early stages he felt he may not have been able to cross runners to his inside and commenced to steady near the 1000m. However after leaving the 900m became aware that he would be caught 4 wide and commenced to ride forward in an attempt to cross the leaders, however he was unable to cross and as a result was caught wide

Steward Comment

Laid in under pressure in the home straight. Stewards asked jockey M. Hellyer to comment on the performance of his mount. He indicated he was of the view that the horse did not appreciate racing in tight proximity to other runners and was reluctant to stretch out in the home straight for this reason.
