PLAY FAST AND LOOSE - Driver T Cameron was questioned in relation to the deafeners not being activated until near the 40m mark in the run home. Mr Cameron explained that he had been reluctant to release the deafeners earlier as the filly had been trotting roughly and had galloped in similar circumstances at its previous start. Stewards noted Mr Cameron's comments.
