The start of this race was rescheduled at the request of the Operator. At approximately the 650m, HAKEEM (AUS) was bumped inwards by OBVIOUS CHILD which rolled in. At approximately the 300m, LEE'S PICK had to steady momentarily when awkwardly placed between SKIMINAC and HAKEEM (AUS) which was hanging out and was straightened. Jockeys Habib, rider of ELUSIVE FLYER and K Zechner, rider of WAR LEGEND reported that they felt something amiss with their respective mounts in running. In view of the performances of HOKANUI and EXCALIBUR'S RETURN, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. OBVIOUS CHILD was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: ELUSIVE FLYER - examined post-race, nothing obvious detected. WAR LEGEND - lame left hind. HOKANUI - not striding out right front. EXCALIBUR'S RETURN - not striding out right front and choked up.
