BIDEN TIME (J Todd) – Ridden vigorously through the early stages to obtain the lead near the 1400m. Rider advised he was obliged to ride forward through the early stages to avoid settling wide and in his opinion, this may have contributed to the gelding not finishing the race off strongly. MERIMBULA (A Sweeney) – Slow to begin. RAMPAZETTO (B Cray) – Returned having cast both near-side plates. FABERGE TZAR (J Bowditch) - A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding returned lame in the near-fore, vet certificate required prior to racing again.

An objection lodged by the rider of the 5th placed ANPHINA (P Shiers) against the 3rd placed MERIMBULA (A Sweeney) alleging interference between the 200m and 100m was dismissed. When dismissing the protest stewards were of the opinion that although ANPHINA had been disappointed for clear running at that stage, FABERGE TZAR (J Bowditch) had been a contributing factor by laying outwards when clear of ANPHINA prior to this incident therefore dictating ANPHINA outwards when that gelding was improving, resulting in ANPHINA then being disappointed behind the heels of MERIMBULA which had also lay inwards marginally. 1ST THE ACCELATOR 2ND GRINZINGER TUNDRA 3RD MERIMBULA Race 6: DCOH Handicap BMNT – 1600m Stewards interviewed trainer G Clarke in relation to the riding instructions he intended to issue as the stable had multiple runners in the event.
