Jockey Dwayne Dunn will miss Saturday week's Group One Australian Guineas meeting after being suspended at Launceston on Wednesday.

Dunn was suspended for a period spanning three Tasmanian meetings after causing interference approaching the home turn in the Group Three Launceston Cup (2400m) aboard runner-up White Yard.

His suspension starts after Saturday's Blue Diamond meeting at Caulfield and he can return on March 7.

Dunn was charged with careless riding as at approximately the 400 metre mark of the Launceston Cup he rode his mount out when insufficiently clear of eventual winner Fast Future, causing that horse to be checked.

Fast Future was shifted out and bumped into Davcon as a result of the incident, and he in turn shifted onto Red Buttons.
