NILOMETER began awkwardly, initially bumped with BUTTERFIELD, then shifted in, struck the heels of O’REILLY RALLY and blundered. CARRIZO CREEK was slow to begin. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, FAT DRAGON failed to muster speed. After entering the Back Straight, FAT DRAGON and NILOMETER were shifted wider on the track to commence improving around the field. Throughout the race, YOUNG HERO travelled wide and without cover. H W Lai (WINNING REWARD) reported his mount did not handle tonight’s track conditions and approaching the turn at the 600 Metres became unbalanced in its action on several occasions and dipped. D Whyte (BUTTERFIELD) reported his mount did not handle tonight’s track conditions. WINNING REWARD, IRON FIST and BUTTERFIELD were sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of WINNING REWARD, IRON FIST and BUTTERFIELD after the race did not show any significant findings. SILVER SUN and O’REILLY RALLY were sent for sampling.
