HARRY’S CHOICE (J. Taylor), which had been racing ungenerously in the middle stages, made the crossing inside the 600m awkwardly.

N. Tomizawa, rider of FUSH, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding, in that near the 400m he permitted his mount to shift out around the heels of SIRELLE when insufficiently clear of GOLDEN ANVIL, which resulted in GOLDEN ANVIL being taken out on to ROSENDAHL, which in turn was forced out on to the hind quarters of FLYING RAPID. N. Tomizawa was suspended from riding in races for a period covered by 7 meetings, to commence at midnight, 11 February and to expire at midnight, 24 February 2006.
