FRIEND OF FREEDOM lost 1 length. NIGHT LOCK lost 2 lengths. WARCRAFT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Wright was questioned regarding the improved performance of WARCRAFT the winner compared to this gelding's previous run on the 19.4.2015. She explained to the Board that in this gelding's previous run that he had been dropped in from a wide draw which had not suited this gelding. Today he had raced more handily which had accounted for the improved performance. She has undertaken to race WARCRAFT from a handy position in future. NIGHT LOCK was pulling hard in the early stages, difficult to restrain. ROYALSECURITYJET (AUS) shifted in approaching the 1700 metre mark, resulting in FRIEND OF FREEDOM having to be momentarily eased. Jockey de Melo reported that he felt something amiss with FRIEND OF FREEDOM in running. Jockey Delpech, the rider of MASTER JAMES, reviewed the closing stages of this race and took no further action. In view of the Veterinary Surgeon's Report concerning ROCKY BAY, this gelding is suspended from racing for a period of 90 days. CHILLINGHAM raced with his tongue tied down (advised 07h53/30.4.2015). Vet: ROCKY BAY - Epistaxis, 90 day suspension. FRIEND OF FREEDOM - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: GOOD IDEA - lame left fore.
