The start of this Race was delayed due to QUINTESSA being stubborn loading and SWEET TALKER breaking open the front gate, which had to be reset. Trainer Maroun was advised to re-school QUINTESSA prior to its next engagement. SWEET TALKER broke the front gate open, which was reset. TORRE DEL ORO was restless in the stalls and slow into stride. SERIOUS REBEL, HAPPY KING, ALAADEL (AUS) and STARPATH were slow into stride. Jockey Zackey reported that OPTICAL ILLUSION made an abnormal respiratory noise and that he felt something amiss with this gelding in running. Shortly after the start QUINTESSA, which commenced to over-race, was awkwardly placed on the inside of IMMORTAL SECRET. ALAADEL (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: IMMORTAL SECRET - speedy cut right hind. SWEET TALKER - mild post race distress. OPTICAL ILLUSION - lame left front. STARPATH - speedy cut right hind.
