J T BOE - broke briefly in the score up but soon settled and was in position at dispatch. Held up for clear running throughout the run home. Driver J Dickie was questioned regarding his decision to remain in the one one position passing the 600m when he had the opportunity to shift out to lead up the three wide line. Mr Dickie stated that the gelding had cast the off fore shoe over the early stages and had raced outside the leader for some distance before receiving cover near the 1300m. He then explained that he felt attempting to improve three wide prior to being covered by MAJOR MAJOR near the 600m may have proved detrimental to his chances given that the gelding does have some difficulty in negotiating the bends. Mr Dickie further stated that he felt IDEAL DELIGHT would be strong enough to take him forward into a position that he could shift wider to secure clear running however this did not eventuate. Stewards noted Mr Dickie's comments.

A false start was declared at the first attempt when J T BOE paced roughly and broke early in the score up with Driver J Dickie indicating to the Starter that he had a gear issue. When questioned Mr Dickie stated that there had been a problem with the spreaders which he was able rectify prior to the restart. After viewing the replays and considering Mr Dickie's explanation Stewards took the matter no further on this occasion other than to note the circumstances and remind Mr Dickie of his obligations in the future.
