BANKING APRIL was difficult to load. ISOLDE was slow into stride. An inquiry will be opened to establish why AT SUNSET stumbled and fell at approximately the 400m. RETRO CHIC shifted out away from the crop in the concluding stages. Jockey Zackey reported that POSTCARDFROMPARIS did not stride out freely in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. Jockey Marwing, the rider of GINA BALLERINA, and Apprentice Murray, the rider of RAVING JEWEL, reported that they felt something amiss with their respective mounts in running. Jockey Lerena signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined for a contravention in that he failed to ride the horse NOW YOU SEE HER out to the end of the race, thereby prejudicing his chances of obtaining fifth place. BANKING APRIL was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. POSTCARDFROMPARS raced in Club Colours. Vet: POSTCARDFROMPARIS - severe back muscle spasms. Veterinary report required prior to entry. GINA BALLERINA and RAVING JEWEL - examined post race, no significant findings. Scratched: FLY MINNALOUSHE - under 12 days suspension.
