MORGANA - broke shortly after the start and trailed the field throughout.
BLUE COMAN - slow early. Held up until near the 100 metres. Driver J Stormont advised that he had elected not to activate the deafeners and had been unable to drive the gelding out due to it trotting unevenly over the final stages.

The JCA imposed a fine of $250.00.

Mr Brownlee stated that his horse had commenced to over-race during the middle stages before then laying in badly entering the final turn which placed him at a considerable disadvantage. Stewards noted Mr Brownlee's comments but advised him that he would be expected to make a greater effort to rate his gelding to advantage in similar circumstances in the future.
