AVRO VULCAN was slow losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. In view of the performance from MIDNIGHT SPY (AUS), which tired quickly in the latter stages, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the filly and submit a report. Jockey Khathi reported that AVRO VULCAN choked up at the finish. BIRD OF WAR over-raced on the bend. ENTRE NOUS became awkwardly placed at about the 300m on the heels of a tiring MIDNIGHT SPY (AUS). TAFFETY TART was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: MIDNIGHT SPY (AUS) - returned coughing. AVRO VULCAN - inspected post race and no significant findings were detected. Scratched: CAUTIONTOTHEWIND - stitches on head.
