Trainer A T Millard was fined the sum of $3,000 for presenting SPARKY STAR in the Parade Ring without a parade hood, part of that horse’s declared gear.
SPARKY STAR proved reluctant to proceed to the barriers, resulting in K Teetan dismounting for a short time.
ENJOY MY LIFE began awkwardly.
REGENT GLORY, which began awkwardly, was bumped shortly after the start by SUNDAY BETTING which was taken out by COURAGEOUS KNIGHT.
From the outside barriers, MEGA BONUS and BELLA BABY were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
SPARKY STAR and SKY CHAMPION were also steadied to obtain cover in the early stages.
Approaching and passing the 1000 Metres, REGENT GLORY travelled keenly when being steadied to obtain cover.
Approaching the 900 Metres, MUDITA raced tight inside the heels of REGENT GLORY which was shifted to the inside of COURAGEOUS KNIGHT to obtain cover.
Throughout the race, JUNGLE BLAZE travelled wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection of BELLA BABY immediately following the race found that horse to have sustained minor lacerations to the left front and right hind legs.
DROPS OF GOD and VICTORY SCHOLARS were sent for sampling.
