Courtesy The West Australian website:

Injury-plagued sprinter Cation pulled up sound winning Saturday's Hutchison Handicap at Ascot and connections will consider starting him in next month's $60,000 Hyperion Stakes.

The gelding, whose knee and hoof trouble kept him out of racing for almost a year, is relishing beachwork near his new trainer Graeme Ayres' Falcon stable.

Blinded, who completed a winning hat-trick on Saturday, is another Strickland Stakes prospect.


Surroundings, who ruptured a leg tendon in Saturday's Ascot 1000 Guineas, has been retired. Stewards will inquire today into interference she received at the 400m post.

Mercury Halo, lame after the Aquanita Stakes, is barred from racing until he has a veterinary clearance.

Dream Of Storm, who ran 11th in the 1200m handicap, was banned for three weeks.

Beaucoup Argent, breathing abnormally after his last over 1800m, will be examined by a veterinarian.

Don's Record, sixth over 1400m, is going for a let-up. The unplaced Arrian will be trained harder.
