BRAVE BROTHER shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of PEARL WIN which became unbalanced. After this, BRAVE BROTHER, despite being ridden along, failed to muster speed. TOP BONUS shifted out at the start and bumped SILVER DRAGON which in turn shifted out and bumped FUN TAPESTRY. From the outside barriers, SAMMY’S EMPIRE and PEACE ON EARTH were steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Despite being vigorously ridden along in the early stages, SNITZEL KID failed to muster speed. Passing the 1000 Metres, PEARL WIN was momentarily steadied away from the heels of MASSIVE MOVE (N Rawiller) which shifted in when not quite clear. N Rawiller was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in similar circumstances. After the 900 Metres, NATURAL TEAM was awkwardly placed close to the heels of MASSIVE MOVE. Passing the 600 Metres, NATURAL TEAM was awkwardly placed behind PEARL WIN. Making the turn near the 550 Metres, UNBEATABLE GUTS was momentarily crowded for room inside SNITZEL KID which was steadied after improving into tight running inside PLANET GIANT. For some distance after this, SNITZEL KID continued to be awkwardly placed close to the heels of PLANET GIANT which commenced to give ground. Throughout the race, PLANET GIANT travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of PEACE ON EARTH immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PEARL WIN and MASSIVE MOVE were sent for sampling. <9/7/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>The Clinical Veterinary Surgeon reported that BRAVE BROTHER had a fractured left front cannon on the morning after racing. Before being allowed to race again, BRAVE BROTHER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
