DIAMOND KING and FOURTH ESTATE lost three lengths. UNCLE TOMMY lost one length. IT IS WRITTEN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ROYAL ZULU WARRIOR shifted in shortly after the start, resulting in STOLEN DESTINY and DANTE'S LEGACY becoming cramped and making contact. Thereafter STOLEN DESTINY over-raced in the early and middle stages. Jockey Sturgeon signed an Admission of Guilt for a Warning for a contravention in that, as the rider of ROYAL ZULU WARRIOR, he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to STOLEN DESTINY and DANTE'S LEGACY shortly after the start. STORMY ECLIPSE shifted out approaching the 400 metre mark resulting in a tiring STOLEN DESTINY having to be eased momentarily. Jockey Marcus appeared before the Board with regard to this incident and was advised to take more care when shifting ground in races in future. A tiring JOSHUAS CROWN became cramped and was eased at approximately the 150 metre mark. Jockey Marcus signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined for a contravention in that he misused his crop by striking STORMY ECLIPSE more than three times on consecutive strides in the latter stages. Vet: STOLEN DESTINY - cut into left hind. BEAT THE RETREAT - overreach left fore. Scratched: SILVER SPRING - elevated temperature.
