QUEEN LIZZY - when questioned regarding the performance driver S Ottley advised she was slightly disappointed with the effort however it was the filly's first start back after a spell and would derive benefit from the race. Miss Ottley defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging she drove carelessly when shifting ground inwards near the 1250m when insufficiently clear of SONG OF SEAS (R May) which had to be restrained and losing its position. After considering the evidence presented by all parties and reviewing the incident from all available camera angles, the Adjudicative Committee was not satisfied that the charge had been established to the required standard and accordingly dismissed the charge.

HEAVEN HIGH - near the 1000-metre mark, Driver O Gillies was required to adjust his helmet after RUSHKINOFF had raced in close proximity to the rear of his sulky. At that stage, Mr Gillies turned and directed comments towards Driver S Wigg. Stewards interviewed both Mr Gillies and Ms Wigg regarding the exchange. After considering the evidence of both drivers, together with their own observations. Stewards established that Mr Gillies had directed foul and offensive language towards Ms Wigg at this stage of the race. Subsequently, Mr Gillies admitted a charge under Rule 303(2) in that he misconducted himself and following submissions on penalty, the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $500.
