SERENE COUNTESS and DEL SHARD lost one length. DEL SHARD commenced to give ground to the field from the 600m. At approximately the 100m, FREE THE WIND, which shifted in marginally away from the crop, had to ease when awkwardly placed between MARIMBA QUEEN, which shifted out away from the crop and SALMON RUN, which rolled in slightly. The Board was of the opinion that this was a racing incident and that blame could not be apportioned to any individual rider. CODE WRITER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SERENE COUNTESS raced equipped with steel shoes. Vet: CODE WRITER and SECRET AIM - abnormal respiratory noise.
