BRAVO ITALIANO (Vinay Jaiswal), PINE VALLEY (Shailesh Shinde) and BREAK THE HABIT (Gajender Singh) were very fractious in their respective stalls.

BRAVO ITALIANO (Vinay Jaiswal) stood flat footed as the start was effected and thereafter swerved violently ‘inwards’ and crashed into the inner rails dislodging its jockey.  A Stewards enquiry was held immediately after the running of the race with particular reference to the fall of Jockey Vinay Jaiswal and his mount BRAVO ITALIANO.  The Stewards being satisfied that the fall was accidental and that no blame could be attached to anyone, ordered  the ‘all clear’ signal to be hoisted.   No embargo was placed  on the gelding as it would be retiring from racing.

PINE VALLEY (Shailesh Shinde) was slow to begin losing approximately 3 lengths at the start.  Tr. Vikash Jaiswal was advised to give his charge adequate gate practice before accepting with it again.

BREAK THE HABIT (Gajender Singh) jumped awkwardly out from the gates.

In the concluding stages of the race SUMANGALA (Imran Khan) was inconvenienced when SUGAR ‘N’ SALT (M Maseyk) drifted ‘inwards’.  At a subsequent enquiry Jockey M Maseyk was shown the CCTV replay of the race and  was reprimanded for not exercising greater control over his mount.

BREAK THE HABIT (Gajender Singh) having its maiden outing drifted to the outer portion of the race track while rounding the bend.
