THE STARTER REPORTED: a) SPIRIT OF THE SEA, MICRO JET (AUS), RISING EAGLE and SMOKING GUN were slow, losing one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels, and no retests were recorded. b) At approximately the 200m, SEVENTH FLEET was steadied momentarily in anticipation of being awkwardly placed on the heels of ECHOES OF WAR, which hung out from the 400m. Thereafter, shortly before the finish line, Apprentice B Marx-Jacobson, the rider of ECHOES OF WAR, briefly dropped his left-side rein. c) HIGHWAYMAN HARRY, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer D N Stenger was advised (MduP). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. LATE RACE CARD CHANGE: a) FOREVER RED is a gelding (gelded 11 May 2026). To be investigated. THE VETERINARIAN REPORTED: a) ROYALE JACKET scalp wound left hind. b) GENNADY coughing post-race. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
