She doesn't get six (furlongs) at the minute, she might do in time but she is very fast and idles in front. The plan was to jump and run and 'don't take back' today. We'd have been delighted with third and put her away for the winter and hope like she would progress into something like this next year. But she has won her black-type now, has speed and is a very valuable commodity now at the moment. She did a lot of growing from two to three and if she continues to grow, we could have a real, good quality sprinter for next year. I think we'll stop with her now; there is the Mercury Stakes for her or else we could travel her but I think we'll look after her now until next year. G M Lyons, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from G.M.Lyons, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Blue Uluru, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Mr. Lyons reported that a drop back in trip to 5 furlong was the contributing factor to bring about the apparent improvement in form.
