THE RASCAL - the murphy blind was removed prior to the start due to the colt failing to warm up favourably. Lay in and raced over a track marker near the 1250m. Authorisation of this runner's 3rd placing was withheld until Steward's viewed the replays and questioned Drivers P Ferguson (THE RASCAL) and M McKendry (BIG HERB) in relation to THE RASCAL contacting a track marker passing the 80m when looking for a run to the inside of BIG HERB. These two runners then locked wheels over the final 40m. After considering the matter Stewards were satisfied that THE RASCAL had not gained an advantage in this incident and gave all clear on the judge's placings. Mr Ferguson was issued a warning in relation to contacting the track marker.

KATAMA - Co-Trainers M & N Purdon were issued a $100 Minor Infringement Notice for presenting the filly to race with blinds which had not been notified. Broke approaching the 2000m after contacting the sulky wheel of BIG HERB which was crossing to the lead, checking and hampering trailing runners before settling. An investigation was held into this incident and after hearing from Junior Driver B Wilkins (KATAMA), assisted by T Herlihy, Driver M McKendry(BIG HERB) and viewing the replays it was established that KATAMA had over-raced when being crossed by BIG HERB contacting that runner's sulky wheel despite the efforts of Ms Wilkins. Broke again near the 1200m hampering a trailing runner losing its chance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant abnormality. A warning was placed on the filly's racing manners.
