Incident Report
Shortly after the start was steadied to avoid DEFINITIVE (L Ferraris) which shifted in. L Ferraris was reprimanded. When questioned A Atzeni stated that after entering the Home Straight he had difficulty obtaining clear running behind ARIEL. He said leaving the 300 Metres he endeavoured to improve into a narrow run between ARIEL and COLOURFUL GAN when those two runners shifted ground slightly and he was obliged to check his mount passing the 200 Metres when SUPER UNICORN did not respond sufficiently to his efforts to improve into the run. As a result SUPER UNICORN was not ridden out to the finish of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Slightly slow out, sent forward to take the lead, led by 1/4L turning in, kept on well early in straight, peaked and headed 150M, ran on evenly, lost 2nd on line.
