HIGHER POWER - contacted and raced inside several track markers rounding the final bend and then hung inwards and trotted roughly in the run home and was unable to be fully driven out. Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied the gelding had not gained an advantage when racing inside track markers. When assessing this Stewards took into account the margin between 2nd and 3rd placing. Driver S Phelan was issued a $100 Minor Infringement Notice for not taking corrective action prior to contacting a track marker.
