Even more merit to the run

Stewards report:

He's Our Rokkii (NZ) – Unable to obtain clear running in the straight. Returned with a minor laceration to the off hind.

Buffering too classy for them. New race record. Race double, won the race back in 2013. Missed last year in preference to Hong Kong. Heading to Dubai in 2016 according to trainer Robert Heathcote.
