The start of this Race was delayed due to CHECKPOINT CHARLIE dislodging the rider, bolting the course and having to be taken in hand. CHECKPOINT CHARLIE fly-jumped behind the starting stalls prior to the start, dislodging Jockey Orffer, bolted the course and thereafter was withdrawn by the Veterinary Surgeon. ALYAASAAT (AUS) lost one length. SOQRAT (AUS) and ALYAASAAT (AUS) selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. WHITEHAVEN became cramped between runners shortly after the start and as a result was squeezed out. CIRILLO raced wide in the early and middle stages. ALYAASAAT (AUS) raced green. OVATION AWARD was hanging out over the final straight, and was difficult to assist. Jockey Marcus, the rider of BOLD EAGLE reported this colt choked up in running. Vet: BOLD EAGLE - blowing. Scratched: CONFESSIONAL - coughing. CHECKPOINT CHARLIE - bolted.
