REGAL GIRL - Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule when this runner raced wider after SUNSET HILL shifted away from the marker line near the 1150m. It was established that Driver T Macfarlane (SUNSET HILL) had commenced his outward movement prior to REGAL GIRL reaching its sulky wheel and no further action was deemed necessary.
