| 7 | 60.5kg | 10.80 | 800m: 7th 400m: 5th | Over raced during the early and middle stages. Jockey N Callow reported that the mare over raced in the early and middle stages and for that reason from near the 800m he allowed the horse to stride forward to improve into the event. Jockey Callow added that whilst the mare quickened for a short distance it was under pressure prior to the home turn and in his opinion, over racing in the early stages was the major contributing factor to what in his view was a disappointing performance. | $7 | |||
