CHARMING BABE (J513): Approaching the 400 Metres was eased when momentarily crowded between COSMO NAVIGATOR and GOOD PROSPECT which shifted out. In the Home Straight hung in and for some distance near the 200 Metres proved reluctant to shift to the outside of GOOD PROSPECT. Sent for sampling post-race. SIGHT HAPPY (J261): Bumped at the start. When questioned regarding the performance, K Teetan stated that his mount was a little slow to begin but was able to obtain a midfield position in the early stages as anticipated. He said leaving the 600 Metres SIGHT HAPPY came under pressure at which point he was required to urge his mount forward and in the Home Straight did not respond to his riding and was disappointing. Trainer D A Hayes advised that SIGHT HAPPY had pleased the stable leading into the event and he had expected the horse to run well. He added he could offer no explanation for the horse’s disappointing performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
