BEACHHAVEN (J Hampson) – Stood flat footed at the start and lost considerable ground. Trainer T Haler was advised that a warning will be placed on the gelding in this regard.

The gelding commenced to race keenly, and the rider was struck in the face by a clod of dirt near the 1100m, she had difficulty in checking the speed of her mount and consequently, the gelding was under pressure passing the 500m and yielded ground in the home straight.
