EDDIE OSEI - broke in the score up but was in position prior to the candy pole. Broke again passing the 800m after having been shifted wider on the track by ANN SOPHIE and lost ground before settling. Broke on a further occasion passing the 350m losing all chance. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners. Driver P Ferguson reported the gelding had lost the near front shoe during the running.

ANN SOPHIE - held up final turn and early stages of the run home. When questioned regarding his decision to restrain racing down the back the first time and shift to the marker line Driver W House stated that in his opinion the mare would not have been suited to racing without cover so felt it was his best option to secure a trailing position. Mr House also advised that he had not activated the sliding blinds due to having been held up.
