CROWN THE MOMENT - over-raced middle stages. Held up rounding the final bend. Stewards questioned driver B Hope regarding his tactics in the initial stages when challenging for the lead for a distance after the start before restraining his runner near the 1650m. Mr Hope advised it was intention to try and lead and when he had established a length advantage over SOUTHERN DIAMOND (Z Butcher) he believed he was going to be able to cross that horse and assume the lead but was unable to do so. Mr Hope conceded he should have made the decision to restrain his horse earlier and Stewards advised him he is to show better judgement in similar circumstances in future.

It was established that Driver C Hackett had commenced to direct her runner inwards entering the first turn to look to shift BANGKOK BETTY down the track but BREAK FREE had improved to that runner's inside simultaneously with Ms Hackett then shifting ALL CASHED UP(AUS) back outwards, however the entire reacted badly and broke when appearing to resent the boring pole. Trotted roughly near the 850m when at the rear losing ground and trailed the field thereafter.

SACRED MOUNTAIN - stood on the mark when the barriers were released before locking wheels with ALL CASHED UP(AUS), which was unable to avoid SACRED MOUNTAIN after having begun well from the 20m mark, with both drivers being tipped from their sulkies. Driver N Chilcott (SACRED MOUNTAIN) was uninjured in this incident and subsequently cleared by St John Ambulance staff. A post-race veterinary examination confirmed that this runner had not sustained any injury. A warning was placed on the mare's barrier manners.
