PETARA jumped awkwardly outwards, losing two lengths and thereafter was slow into stride. MISS SAIGON jumped outwards and thereafter was slow into stride. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine LUCKY CAT, which compounded in the home straight, on her return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report. GALLICA ROSE had to steady in the concluding stages, off the heels of MA CHOIX (AUS), which shifted in away from the crop. Jockey Khathi, the rider of MA CHOIX (AUS), was charged with a contravention, in that he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to GALLICA ROSE in the concluding stages. Jockey Khathi signed an Admission of Guilt and was suspended from riding in races for a period of seven days. When questioned regarding his riding of MISS SAIGON, Jockey Fayd'Herbe told the Stewards that as this filly had been drawn out widest he raced her in a rearward position where she felt comfortable and upon entering the straight he felt the filly did not travel well despite his urgings. The Board noted his explanation. Trainer Ramsden was requested to report back on the filly's condition on her return to the stable. PRINCESS OFTHE SKY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. LUCKY CAT raced fitted with alumites in front and unshod behind. Vet: LUCKY CAT - returned not striding out and blowing hard.
