NEED SOME TIME- Pre-race blood sample and post-race sample obtained.

BELLA ALCHERA- Broke during the score up, was out of position at the start, broke gait approaching the 1100 metres. Given this was the filly’s third race start, she was placed outside the draw and stood down from racing until the completion of one requalifying trial. Driver James Locke was spoken to regarding his helmet appearing loose in the home straight. As Mr Locke adjusted his helmet, BELLA ALCHERA shifted out momentarily checking IM NO STRANGER. Mr Locke was reprimanded under Rule 168(1)(a). Stewards noted that IM NO STRANGER also hung in during the straight which was a contributing factor.

BARA AUBREY Hung in after the first turn, contacting several marker pegs. Gave ground from the 500 metres before finishing in 6th position, beaten 66 metres. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormalities. Considering the filly’s performance and racing manners, she was stood down until the completion of one requalifying trial.
