RON MCKINLEY - raced wide early. When questioned regarding the performance driver T Williams advised he had been forced to race wide on the track after improving near the 700m and had been unable to make ground over the concluding stages. Mr Williams added he was not disappointed with the effort considering it was the gelding's first start after a spell and believed the horse would derive considerable benefit from the race.

ABSOLUTE DYNAMITE - locked wheels with BLUE ROCK DANCER near the 50m with both runners shifting ground outwards hampering an outside runner. Stewards questioned drivers J Dunn (ABSOLUTE DYNAMITE) and B Hope (BLUE ROCK DANCER) in relation to this incident and after hearing from both drivers and viewing the replays, it was established that ABSOLUTE DYNAMITE had lay outwards marginally simultaneously to BLUE ROCK DANCER attempting a marginal run and Stewards were unable to apportion blame onto any one horse or driver with no further action deemed necessary.
