FAST FINISH, which was fractious, reared continually in the stall, was taken out and reloaded with a hood, was examined by the Veterinary Surgeon at the start and declared fit to race, causing a delay. FAST FINISH was slow losing one length. DOUBLE ROSIE was restless in the stalls. NEGEMA jumped awkwardly losing two length and thereafter was slow into stride. ALFRED'S GIRL and ALPINE JIG were slow into stride. OHSOBRIGHT raced in Club Colours. In view of the report from the Starter concerning FAST FINISH, Trainer Ramsden will be advised that this filly's starting stall certificate has been withdrawn. ALPINE JIG raced green, was hanging out throughout and proved difficult to assist. HAPPY JUNCTION and NEGMA raced green. Approaching the 400m, HEMERO, which was hanging in, rolled in, and brushed ALFRED'S GIRL. In view of the performance from FAST FINISH, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the filly on her return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report. TOWNSHIP MELODY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: FAST FINISH - examined at the start and declared fit to race. FAST FINISH - returned not striding out behind. Scratched: BELL JAR - coughing.
