  • Stipe Comment: Raced keenly in the early stages when being restrained before shifting outwards abruptly to avoid heels approaching the 1000 metres being obliged to race three wide without cover when racing greenly for the majority of the race. Checked near the 150 metres. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which revealed a small laceration on the left nostril.
