CHESA, CURIOSITY and MR BALBOA lost 1 length. STAR OF BURMA over-raced in the early stages. MR BALBOA over-raced in the early stages and was hanging in from the 200m. APSLEY was hanging out on the bend and into the straight due to the bit being pulled through this gelding's mouth. Thereafter APSLEY shifted in and continued its run. Jockey Mansour reported that CHESA made an abnormal respiratory noise running. Jockey Chambers reported that he felt something amiss with CURIOSITY in running and did not persevere with his ride from the 600m. Jockey Sturgeon reported that DANCE AWAY took no interest in running. BALLI MIRACLE (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: RICH BID and CHESA - abnormal respiratory noise. CURIOSITY - post race distress; coughing. DANCE AWAY - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: BEVELLED EDGE - ineligible, winner 6 August 2015.
