and was tacked at the 200m compounded quickly.

probably suspect at 1200m

Lead in solid tempo, looked to be travelling nice on the turn, however did nothing in the
straight weakened badly.(Stewards Report)

W Hernan rider of Just Curious who performed below expectations stated the mare travelled well in the lead but when put under pressure near the 400m failed to respond to his riding and commenced to weaken. W Hernan further added that Just Curios may not have backed up from it’s win at Sandown last week on the slow track.A Veterinary examination of Just Curious subsequent to the race failed to reveal any abnormalities.
