IM SANDRA DEE - broke early in the score up and was back from position at dispatch. Broke again shortly after the start and galloped a distance before settling. Raced fiercely middle stages when outside the leader.

A warning was placed on the filly's barrier manners. Driver Z Butcher advised that IM SANDRA DEE had been contacting its own wheel discs causing it to over-race badly.

THE RASCAL - the murphy blind was removed prior to the start due to the colt failing to warm up favourably. Lay in and raced over a track marker near the 1250m. Authorisation of this runner's 3rd placing was withheld until Steward's viewed the replays and questioned Drivers P Ferguson (THE RASCAL) and M McKendry (BIG HERB) in relation to THE RASCAL contacting a track marker passing the 80m when looking for a run to the inside of BIG HERB. These two runners then locked wheels over the final 40m. After considering the matter Stewards were satisfied that THE RASCAL had not gained an advantage in this incident and gave all clear on the judge's placings. Mr Ferguson was issued a warning in relation to contacting the track marker.

CALORIEFREE - Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1750m when this runner appeared to force TIGHT LINES to race wider on the track, however after the viewing replays it was established that Driver T Macfarlane (CALORIEFREE) had commenced his outwards movement prior to TIGHT LINES (T Herlihy) reaching his sulky wheel and simultaneously raced greenly causing Mr Macfarlane some difficulty. Stewards elected not to take the matter any further other than to place a warning on the gelding's racing manners. Paced roughly rounding the final turn and lay inwards when being shifted wider on the track early in the run home. Again paced roughly throughout the run home.

Stewards questioned drivers C Hackett (DELIGHTFUL CHIC) and L Hollis (GOTTA GO MIKI) regarding a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1200m. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from both drivers, Stewards were satisfied that when driver L Hollis shifted outwards, a full run was available to the inside of DELIGHTFUL CHIC, as this runner was already racing in a three-wide position. Consequently, no further action was taken.

After considering the matter Stewards took no further action other than to note the circumstances.
