SILVER GATSBY, Standby Declared Starter, was withdrawn on 5.2.15 by order of the Stewards (stable transfer). D’OR WONGCHOY began awkwardly. From wide barriers, SO CAFFE and CRAZY BUDDIES were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the 1500 Metres, MEDIC MASTER was crowded for room between D’OR WONGCHOY and SYSTEM OVERLOAD which shifted in. Passing the 1300 Metres, WHY NOT commenced to prove difficult to settle and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ISHVARA. Approaching and passing the 1200 Metres, MEDIC MASTER proved difficult to settle. Near the 650 Metres, RED DANCER became unbalanced and shifted out towards the heels of ISHVARA. After the 300 Metres, KERKENI was awkwardly placed close to the heels of LAUGH OUT LOUD when disappointed for tight running between that horse and OUTLAWED. KERKENI was then held up for clear running until passing the 200 Metres. SO CAFFE was unable to obtain clear running until near the 200 Metres and then passing the 200 Metres was steadied when crowded for room between LAUGH OUT LOUD and ISHVARA (Z Purton) which shifted in under pressure. Z Purton was severely reprimanded and advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. Over the concluding stages, OUTLAWED was awkwardly placed inside the heels of LAUGH OUT LOUD. Throughout the race, ALADDIN and WINNING INSTINCT travelled wide and without cover. G Mosse (WINNING INSTINCT) was reminded of his obligation to ride his mounts out all the way to the end of the race at least hands and heels where circumstances permit. RED DANCER and ISHVARA were sent for sampling. <9/2/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>The Clinical Veterinary Surgeon reported that SYSTEM OVERLOAD was lame in its left front leg on the morning after racing.
