Stewards questioned Junior Drivers M Ranger (BROOKSIDE GIRL), assisted by S Butcher, and F Schumacher (COMMANDER LINCOLN), who elected not to have the assistance of a Senior driver, regarding an incident near the 200m when COMMANDER LINCOLN paced roughly when being shifted wider by BROOKSIDE GIRL. It was established that COMMANDER LINCOLN had been slow to react to Mr Schumacher's efforts to accommodate the shift which was carried out in an acceptable manner and no further action was deemed necessary.
