SELF ASSURED - Authorisation of placings was withheld until the Stewards had reviewed footage of the start to determine whether SELF ASSURED had gained an advantage when improving its position from the inside of the 20m line by utilising the expanded inside lane at the start. After viewing the replays and speaking with driver M Purdon it was established that BEACH BALL which had drawn position one on the 10m line had started wider on the track and when the start was effected SELF ASSURED, which had begun well, was forced inwards by BEACH BALL which shifted ground inwards shortly after the start. After viewing replays and hearing from Mr Purdon placings were duly authorised.
