SEATTLE KID and GOOD RHYTHM were slow into stride. LICKERIO was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. GOOD RHYTHM was pulling hard in the early and middle stages, difficult to restrain. GRADUATE was cramped for a short distance and was eased near the 400 metre mark and thereafter was switched to the inside of EUPHORIC for a clear run near the 100 metre mark. EUPHORIC was hanging in over the final 300 metres. Jockey de Melo the rider of SEATTLE KID reported that he felt something amiss with this gelding in the closing stages and as a result did not persevere with his ride. In view of the performance of SCRABBLE the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Vet: SCRABBLE - not striding out right hind. SEATTLE KID - nothing obvious detected.
