Near the 200 metres WELCOME RETURN was tightened for room by SILVER CITY BOY which had a tendency to lay in.
Stewards questioned P Crich rider of FREGOSI which got well back in the field. P Crich stated that FREGOSI showed no early pace today and despite him riding the gelding up he was unable to keep in touch. P Crich advised that he notified the trainer that he believed FREGOSI had trained off and was looking for a spell. Further that FREGOSI appeared normal after the race.
Stewards questioned P Shiers the rider of EKRUM which weakened badly over the concluding stages. P Shiers stated that EKRUM was a beaten horse at the 600 metres and in the straight felt like it was becoming unbalanced and for this reason he eased the gelding down. P Shiers stated that EKRUM appeared normal after the race.
Stewards questioned Mr C Pollard trainer of EKRUM regarding its poor performance today. C Pollard stated that he could offer no explanation for EKRUM'S poor performance today. Mr Pollard stated that the gelding may be looking for more ground and that the gelding may have performed well last start due to being fresh.
The Club’sVeterinary Surgeoninspected EKRUM and reported that she could find no apparent abnormalities. Stewards ordered a urine sample be collected from EKRUM.

When taken out LADY JINX went out onto NERO MACCHINA taking that gelding out onto NOTHING BY HALF. As a consequence NOTHING BY HALF lost its running due in part to TIMELY EXIT shifting slightly.
RHODES TO GLORY jumped awkwardly at the start and conceded some ground. P Denton rider of RHODES TO GLORY advised the stewards that when that gelding jumped awkwardly his saddle shifted sideways placing him at a disadvantage for the remainder of the race.
