11. Jacquinot – Began awkwardly. Raced keenly in the early stages and got its head up. Near the 1400 metres was eased from the heels of Bank Maur. Post-race endoscopy detected a degree of internal exercise induced pulmonary haemorrhage that may have affected the horses racing performance. A veterinary clearance is required prior to being permitted to race again.
12. Giga Kick – On jumping was bumped by Lofty Strike, which shifted in. Shortly after the start raced in restricted room and became unbalanced momentarily when crowded for room. After being taken in by In Secret near the 600m, he became unbalanced for some distance due to pressure on its hindquarter from Shelby Sixtysix, which was racing to its inside.
