The start of this Race was delayed due to the previous Race delays and the 30-minute gap between races. NOBLE APPROACH lost one length. ALLEZ LES BLEU (AUS) was restless in the stalls. Lost two lengths. BEL CANTO CHORUS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. LOVE BUTTON was carried out which in turn resulted in JAMAICA INN, FONTEYN and MY WISH being carried outwards and being inconvenienced shortly after the start. JAMAICA INN was pulling hard in the early stages and raced wide in the early part of the bend. LINNGER LONGER and MISTY HEATH raced wide on the bend. ELUSIVE DIVA over-raced in the early and middle stages. Jockey Marcus the rider of ELUSIVE DIVA reported this filly making an abnormal respiratory noise post race. Apprentice Ferraris the rider of NOBLE APPROACH reported this filly not striding out freely in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine ELUSIVE DIVA and NOBLE APPROACH. SILKY SPEECH was inconvenienced on the outside of VELVET HONEY passing the 300-metre mark. FONTEYN raced with ear muffs. Vet: ELUSIVE DIVA - abnormal respiratory noise. NOBLE APPROACH - nothing obvious detected. MISTY HEATH - coughing.
