AZETIC STAR (Vishal) was slowly away.

GLITTERING (D. Gnaneshwar) hung out throughout the race.  Trainer Mr. Neil Darashah was told to rectify the tract in this filly before accepting with it again.

Near the 900 Metres CATTLEYA (M. Prabhakaran) shifted in causing SMOKEY SID (S.K. Paswan) to carry GLITTERING (D. Gnaneshwar) inwards resulting in HAVELOCK PRINCE (Imran Chisty) checking severely.

RARE AND ELLUSIVE (Prashant P Dhebe) shifted ground in the straight. Jockey Prashant P Dhebe was told to keep his mount straighter in future.

Trainer Mr. M.P. Mahaesh and Jockey Imran Chisty were questioned regarding the performance of HAVELOCK PRINCE. Mr. Mahaesh stated that he had instructed Jockey Imran Chisty to sit 3rd or 4th then come to the outside in the straight.  Jockey confirmed the instructions.  He said the gelding was fractious in the gates, he jumped a little slow but was urged along to obtain a forward position.  Then at the 900 Metres he had to check HAVELOCK PRINCE due to interference thereby losing any chance of a forward position  He took the horse to the outside in the straight but was hampered by RARE AND ELLUSIVE  which shifted ground over the final 150m Metres. The explanation was noted.

RARE AND ELLUSIVE (Prashant P Dhebe)  sustained a cut injury on right hock.
