ESS EL KAY was nervous in the stall and reared. Permission was granted for NATIONAL ROAD to be led to the start with a lead horse. Jockey Yeni reported that ESS EL KAY was hanging in on the turn, rolled inwards at the 600 metre mark, which resulted in LAND OF MEADOWS having to ease off ESS EL KAY heels for two strides. SHIMER AND SHINE eased off the heels of THE HELMSMAN entering the home straight. THE HELMSMAN compounded passing the 300 metre mark. LE VAR was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: ESS EL KAY and THE HELMSMAN - checked post race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: ROARING SEA - striding short.
