LOVEABLE ROGUE - broke rounding the first turn losing considerable ground. When questioned Driver D Ferguson explained that he had been restraining to look to take up a position closer to the marker line with SWEET VINTAGE, which he was trailing, also being restrained at this point with his gelding contributing to the incident by being slow to respond when being steadied and became awkwardly placed to the sulky of SWEET VINTAGE. Stewards noted Mr Ferguson's comments and took the matter no further.
