VERTICAL APPROACH was slow into stride. VERTICAL APPROACH was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MUMSY'S JET and KING JAY over-raced in the early stages. Apprentice Murray, the rider of GEMSTONE CREEK, reported that the saddle slipped forward over the final 200 metres. Vet: MUMSY'S JET - returned post race having cast both fore shoes. Scratched: MALREBELLIO - elevated temperature.
