ARCTIC FORCE (Gajender Singh) and LA DOMINIQUE (Md Islam) were slow to begin losing approximately two lengths at the start.

Approaching the 900 metres ch f LA DOMINIQUE (Md Islam) travelling on the far side was severely checked by its rider and lost ground when b f LAKE SUNRISE (Martin J Dwyer) violently shifted ‘outwards’ Subsequently LAKE SUNRISE finished the race detached from the field.  At a subsequent enquiry Jockey Martin J Dwyer reported that the filly threw her head up, took hold of the bit and dived ‘outwards’ despite his best efforts to keep her on an even course.  The bridle of the filly and its attachments were checked after running of the race and found to be otherwise well fitted, hence no further action was taken beyond informing  Tr. BharathSingh to get his charge LAKE SUNRISE checked by the Veterinary Officer and not to accept with it in a race until shown to the satisfaction of the Stipendiary Stewards in a mock race.
