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.

MAGENTA - locked wheels with an inside runner passing the 400m losing all chance. Stewards questioned junior driver H Moralde Sands (assisted by T Herlihy) regarding this matter and after viewing the replays and hearing from both drivers it was established that the filly while improving quickly rounding the final bend had hung inwards causing Miss Moralde Sands some difficulty when being shifted wider on the track by MERLE MARY which resulted in both runners locking wheels. After considering all factors, Stewards deemed that no further action was required.
