When questioned regarding the manner in which she drove during the running driver K Coppins advised that after racing wide through the early stages she was aware the parked position was not available so she attempted to restrain her runner to the rear of the field however the mare had commenced to over-race causing her difficulty.

Broke again on a further occasion near the 40m and failed to settle, being lapped on by CRACKERJACK and SANS AU REVOIR. Stewards lodged a protest under Rule 870(5) against this runner's 3rd placing alleging the gelding was lapped on at the finish line. After viewing replays connections did not contest the protest and FEARLESS was relegated to 5th placing by the Stewards. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners.

ILLICIT LOVE - broke near the 1750m when racing to the inside of EYRE I WILL checking trailing runners and losing considerable ground. Stewards held an investigation into this incident and after hearing the relative evidence from Junior Driver C Hackett (ILLICIT LOVE) assisted by M Wallis, Driver S Abernethy (EYRE I WILL) and viewing the replays it was established that these runners had been contesting a position in the running line when racing on terms with neither driver being deemed to be at fault. Given the circumstances Stewards took the matter no further.

LOTERIA - back a distance and slow to leave the pre-race formation. Broke rounding the final bend losing ground. Stewards spoke with junior driver H Orange, assisted by driver J Dickie, regarding being back from its unruly position at the start. Mr Orange advised his instructions were to stay back and attempt to keep the mare trotting. Mr Dickie, who had driven the horse in its previous starts, confirmed the horse is difficult to drive early in the score up. Notwithstanding this Mr Orange was advised to make a greater effort to be closer when the score up commences thereby giving his drive a better opportunity to be in position at the start.
