TWILIGHT (A.Sandesh) was restless in the stall and not allowing the rider to settle. Trainer M.K.Jadhav has been asked to give the filly more gate practice and show her to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, FONTANELLE (Malcolm Kharadi, dr. 6) jumped awkwardly outwards and went on to QUICK FIRE (J.Fortune, dr.7). INVINCIBLE (Kavraj Singh, dr.8) jumped awkwardly outwards and inconvenienced STAYING ALIVE (Dharmendar, dr.9), who in turn went on to ICE AFFAIR (Hanumant Singh, dr.10) who had also jumped out awkwardly. 

QUICK FIRE (J.Fortune) was ridden in check in the final 100 metres due to lack of room.

At the behest of the Stipendiary Stewards, a Stewards Enquiry was held in this race. The reason being, at about 800 metres INVINCIBLE (Kavraj Singh, Placed Second) shifted in and went on to QUICK FIRE (J.Fortune) who in turn shifted in and tightened FONTANELLE (Malcolm Kharadi, Placed Third) causing both horses to get unbalanced and to be checked by their respective riders, losing position in the process and dropping back.

After considering the submissions made by the Jockeys concerned in conjunction with that of the Stipendiary Stewards  and relying on their judgment, the Stewards decided to maintain the order of placing as declared by the Judge.

In the above connection, Jockey Kavraj Singh was asked to meet the Stewards for careless riding on his mount INVINCIBLE. Consideration of the matter was deferred.

After the race, TWILIGHT was observed to have a cut injury at the right hind cannon. SUPREME MINSTREL and QUICK FIRE were found to be sound.
