The start of this Race was delayed due to a technical fault being experienced with the starting stalls, which had to be attended to. As a result a manual start was effected. The starting stall gate of PLACIDO, drawn 1, opened markedly prematurely. THE CAT, drawn 8, rushed and broke through the front gate. In view of the Starter's Report and no false start being called, the Stipendiary Board called for a race review into the start. After reviewing the patrol films of the start and hearing evidence from the Starter, the Board decided to declare PLACIDO a non-starter as this gelding was not correctly installed at the time the start was effected. The Board was satisfied that THE CAT (draw 8) rushed and broke through the front gate prematurely and gained an advantage over the other runners, and declared THE CAT a non-starter. Jockey Munger reported GYPSY BEAUTY was not striding out freely in the running. CHINA EXPRESS and WARRIOR POET were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: GYPSY BEAUTY - checked post race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: THE CAT and PLACIDO - non-starters.
