SHEZ THE ONE - paced roughly entering the first turn. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1350m when GOD DAM raced wider on the track after SHEZ THE ONE improved out from the running line. It was established that Driver D Butcher had commenced his outward movement prior to GOD DAM covering his sulky wheel but SHEZ THE ONE had lay in and been slow to shift. No further action was deemed necessary. Locked sulky stays with an outside runner briefly near the 1150m.

SHEZ THE ONE - raced wide early before crossing to the parked position near the 1450m. When questioned regarding the tactics he adopted during the middle stages when electing to hold the parked position, Driver D Butcher stated that he had initially eased to look to take a trail but FREEDOM DASH had not been travelling well enough to cross so he felt he had little option other than to remain without cover outside the leader.

PRINCE MIKI - when spoken to regarding the performance Driver J Dickie stated that although this runner had only battled in the run home, he was not overly disappointed with the effort given that the gelding had not raced for three weeks.

IRON BRIGADE - paced roughly late in the score up and was back from position at dispatch. A warning was placed on the colt's barrier manners. Driver M McKendry was questioned in relation to shifting down into the passing lane approaching the winning post on the first occasion when improving to the inside of PRECIOUS BET to lead. Mr McKendry stated that after losing some ground at the start that IRON BRIGADE had settled to the inside of DANCE STAR, which had moved down onto the back of PRECIOUS BET which was racing wider on the track than a true marker line position and this enabled him to improve to that runner's inside to secure the lead. Driver A Harrison confirmed that her runner had raced greenly over the early stages when reluctant to shift fully down to the marker line. After considering the matter no further action was deemed necessary other than note the circumstances.
