VENTURA, BALL DANCER, SOPHIA and POWER BEAUTY were slow into stride. VENTURA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Apprentice Mo, the rider of VERNA, had a satisfactory qualifying ride. POPULAR BLUES raced wide on the bend. Apprentice Barnes reported that SHANAHAN was making an abnormal respiratory noise at the pull up. In view of the performance of POWER BEAUTY, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. VERNA brushed the inside running rail at approximately 1300 metre mark. TOO MUCH FUN raced with a tongue tie. Vet: SHANAHAN and POWER BEAUTY - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: DISKI, WATTALOTIGOT and QUINTELLA - insufficient recovery time.
