HOMETOWN HERO, NEVER MIND BILL and MAKE THE CALL were slow into stride. COLD PLAY lost 1 length. FROM THE ASHES was difficult to load. Trainer Moore advised to re-school this gelding. DEFENDING CHAMPION was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. In view of the performance of HOMETOWN HERO, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Kennedy reported that MAKE THE CALL took no interest in running. FROM THE ASHES was hanging out, shifted out over the final 100 metres metres, which resulted in NEVER MIND BILL being carried outwards sharply away from FROM THE ASHES shortly after the finish. Jockey Daniels signed an Admission of Guilt for a contravention in that, as the rider of FROM THE ASHES, he failed to ensure that he did not prevent his mount from shifting out thereby causing interference to NEVER MIND BILL shortly after the finish. He was given a Warning. Vet: HOMETOWN HERO - mouth injury. MAKE THE CALL - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: SOUTHERN SUN - sold without engagement.
