REALTIN (D Gillett) – Commenced awkwardly.
SPLISH SPLASH (H Le Blanc) – Slow to begin.
MUSELET (A Stead) – Cantankerous in the mounting enclosure and rider was obliged to dismount on several occasions after entering the course proper due to the mare’s unruly behaviour. The mare struck the near side hip against the fence when moving onto the track and after undergoing a veterinary examination at the barriers was cleared to compete. Cast the off fore plate in running. Trainer P Gardner was advised that a warning will now be placed the mare’s pre-race behaviour.
General – On inquiry it was established that shortly after the start SUPREME GOAL (S Tsaikos) shifted in when being ridden along resulting in CALIPARI (W Cave) having to be restrained from heels. Whilst Stewards accepted that SUPREME GOAL shifted ground quickly, jockey S Tsaikos was advised to make a greater effort to relieve pressure when shifting ground in future.
