DUNLOE (I Luximon) – Began awkwardly losing ground, raced wide throughout and wider rounding the home turn.
NASHA (D Barton) – Began awkwardly losing ground and lay out under pressure from the 150m.
General: Stewards questioned Jockey I Luximon (DUNLOE $2.80 Fav) in relation to his ride in this event. After commencing awkwardly losing some ground, Stewards were of the opinion that I Luximon failed to display any urgency to make up ground and then commenced to race wide throughout and further failed to ride his mount right to the line. As the gelding has had previous warnings in regards to it hanging outwards, Stewards accepted that racing wide throughout could be attributed to it again hanging out but were of the view that he could have ridden with more vigour at the start and end of the race. I Luximon was advised that in future he must ride his mounts in a manner that does not leave them open for question.
