Incident Report
Bumped at the start. Approaching the 300 Metres was crowded between GOLDEN RISE and CHARMING BABE which was taken out by STORM RIDER (B Avdulla). In this incident, RISING FROM ASHES hung in and away from GOLDEN RISE which contributed to it having to be checked to avoid CHARMING BABE. B Avdulla was severely reprimanded.

Incident Report
After travelling a short distance was steadied when crowded between PRESTIGE ALWAYS and SUPER JOY N FUN. In the early stages got its head up and raced keenly when being steadied to obtain cover. After the event, H Bentley stated that his mount settled further back than intended after being crowded at the start. He said YOUNG ARROW raced keenly with the early stages of the event being run outside of standard time which resulted in his mount being left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
