Jockey W Faizal (GROUND ATTACK) was questioned as to the reason why GROUND ATTACK was ridden in a rearward position.

He had ridden GROUND ATTACK positively and urged the gelding but it failed to make ground until straightening.
Post-race veterinary examinations of ORIENT EXPRESS and MAREA NEGRO revealed that both horses bled and will each be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will each be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.
