SMACKDOWN - raced wide early. Locked wheels with LULANA near the 950m. Stewards questioned drivers P Ferguson (SMACKDOWN) and A Poutama (LULANA) regarding this incident where it was established that LULANA had lay inwards and had raced on one rein prior to being shifted wider by SMACKDOWN. Driver A Poutama stated that had his filly raced more tractably in this incident he would have been able to accommodate the outward shift of SMACKDOWN. After hearing from both drivers Stewards were satisfied that neither driver was at fault and took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances. Checked and broke briefly near the 800m losing ground.
