A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. STREET CONQUEROR (H341): No report. CIRCUIT ELEVEN (G468): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. The performance of CIRCUIT ELEVEN, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.

STAR MAC (J053): When questioned as to why his mount raced in a three wide position after starting from barrier 1, H Bowman stated that he was requested by connections to attempt to have his mount race away from the rail as STAR MAC has performed better when ridden in this manner. He stated that after travelling a short distance he shifted away from the rail with a view to obtaining a position behind the favourite in the event SUNSTRIDER. He said leaving the 1500 Metres his mount shifted out slightly which allowed ILLUMINOUS to improve to his inside and as a result he was then obliged to race three wide. He added that although he was obliged to travel wide in the event, he was satisfied with his position as his mount obtained cover behind KIMBERLEY, however, in the Home Straight STAR MAC finished the race off in a one-paced manner. Trainer D A Hayes confirmed the instructions issued. HOLY LAKE (H260): Sent for sampling post-race. EIGHTEEN CARAT (J104): Jumped only fairly. SUNSTRIDER (J168): When questioned regarding the performance, Z Purton stated that his mount was not suited by being positioned tight to the inside of KIMBERLEY throughout the event and also was disadvantaged in the Home Straight when it improved into a narrow run between HOLY LAKE and KIMBERLEY and was reluctant to proceed forward when it continued to race tight inside KIMBERLEY. Trainer D J Hall confirmed the instructions were to take up a midfield position, but agreed with Jockey Purton that his mount was disadvantaged by racing tight to the inside of KIMBERLEY in the Home Straight. Notwithstanding this, the Stewards determined the performance of SUNSTRIDER to be disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, SUNSTRIDER will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

He added that from the 800 Metres KA YING GENERATION came under pressure and failed to finish the race off from that point. When asked if there was an opportunity to take a trailing position behind MOMENTS IN TIME, A Atzeni stated that due to his mount carrying a light weight and it had raced well when being allowed to run freely at its last start, he felt that his best option was to remain racing outside of MOMENTS IN TIME to take advantage of the light weight.
