MESSAGEINABOTTLE lost 1 length. GOLDEN ARM and LORD AVON both lost 2 lengths. ROYAL INN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Gadsby was questioned regarding the improved performance of ROYAL INN the winner compared to this gelding's previous runs. He explained that in his opinion this gelding is suited to the longer distance of 1400 metres and he has undertaken to race this gelding over similar distances in the foreseeable future. His explanation was noted. WAR REQUIEM and SYLVAN JET made contact on two occasions shortly after the start. ABDICATE, over-racing, was eased off the heels of MAACHAAN (AUS) for a number of strides at approximately the 1100 metre mark. SALT OF THE EARTH raced wide on the bend. SYLVAN JET was hanging in throughout. In view of the performance of SYLVAN JET, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. MAACHAAN (AUS) was hanging out over the final 500 metres. WAR REQUIEM was hanging out on the bend and in the final straight. ROY'S WARRIOR (AUS) and LORD AVON are geldings and not colts as carded. Vet: SYLVAN JET - nothing obvious detected. INTER MILAN - cut into left hind. Scratched: FORWARD ZONE - coughing.
