Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a)	MASTER CHRISTMAS (C Zackey) was stubborn loading and thereafter slow into stride.
b)	DECEPTION PASS (*N Nastili) was slow into stride.	

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a)	Leaving the 400m, ARTIST'S MODEL (M Yeni) was carried in by MASTER CHRISTMAS (C Zackey), which was directed inwards off of the heels of ARGO ALLEY (J Gates). Thereafter, at approximately the 300m, MASTER CHRISTMAS (C Zackey) was steadied when awkwardly placed between ARTIST'S MODEL (M Yeni), which rolled out, and ARGO ALLEY (J Gates), which shifted in away from the crop and was straightened. As a consequence, MASTER CHRISTMAS (C Zackey) was  directed outwards to continue its run. 
b)	ZUZAN (J Penny), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.	
Trainer P F Matchett advised (MS).
