Incident Report
No report.

Average to begin sent forward to take the lead, travelled comfortably in the middle stages, hard ridden after passing 250M, showed very good response, easily scored, impressive.

Incident Report
After the event, C Williams stated that from a wide barrier he was instructed to hold a forward position. He said after commencing well he made some use of his mount in the early stages to cross runners to his inside where CAP FERRAT then travelled well in the early and middle stages. He added that due to the pace of the event being run inside of standard time in the early stages CAP FERRAT did not run on when placed under pressure in the Home Straight. Trainer K W Lui confirmed the instructions were to hold an on-pace position with cover if it commenced well.

Began only fairly, positioned 2 lengths behind the leader on the stands' side, no clear run until final 200M, finished off evenly.

Incident Report

Jumped awkwardly and then was crowded by JOHANNES BRAHMS which shifted in.

Fast into stride, tracked leaders on the stands' rail, ridden after passing 400M but not enough room, weakened gradually from 250M, inconvenienced 150M, eased final 100M.

Incident Report
Jumped awkwardly. Raced keenly in the early stages. Near the 1200 Metres was shifted to the outside of STUNNING PEACH when awkwardly placed close to that runner’s heels. As a result, SKY TRUST raced wide and without cover thereafter. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported.

Moderately away, raced better than midfield, hard ridden approaching 350M, kept on well to take a place without threatening.

Incident Report
After the event, A Atzeni stated that he had to make some use of the horse in the early stages to cross and lead the event from a wide barrier. He added in the Home Straight NOISY BOY failed to respond to his riding and was disappointing. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Made contact with the left side of its barrier on jumping, always outpaced and behind.

Incident Report
Near the 1200 Metres was hampered when taken wider by SKY TRUST. After the event, R Moore could offer no explanation for the horse’s failure to run on in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
