PARLIAMENT HOUSE – Blundered badly at the start and lost ground. Jockey J. Lloyd reported that after blundering badly at the start he attempted to restrain his mount towards the rear of the field but when the pace steadied after passing the 900m it would not settle so he elected to ride forward in an attempt to cross CUBAN PRINCESS in the middle stages. Jockey Lloyd added however that PARLIAMENT HOUSE hung out badly which prevented him from clearing that runner.

WULFIES LADY – Shifted out passing the 600m when overracing.

MY COUSIN MELANIE – Clipped the heels of WULFIES LADY passing the 600m and blundered when that runner shifted out slightly. A post race veterinary examination revealed no significant abnormalities.

COCOA BAR – Trainer B. Herne advised the horse would be ridden forward today if circumstances permit. The horse settled towards the rear of the field.

KOBI CREEK – Overraced in the middle stages.

PARTY SPIN – Overraced in the middle stages.

MONSTER OF ENERGY – Overraced in the middle stages.

GENTLEMAN JACK – Shifted out when weakening soon after straightening. When questioned regarding the riding tactics adopted in the early and middle stages jockey M. Cahill explained that he was instructed to ride the gelding where it was comfortable and was advised not to overly restrain the horse as it has resented this in the past. Jockey Cahill added that he was unable to obtain cover leaving the 1000m and soon afterward the pace steadied and GENTLEMAN JACK commenced to overrace and for this reason he allowed the horse to stride forward. Jockey Cahill further added that the gelding was under heavy pressure approaching the home turn and weakened badly in the home straight.

DIDDY WIN DIDDY – Had to be restrained from the heels of GENTLEMAN JACK in the early stages of the home straight. Jockey J.
