The start was then further delayed when HELSINGOR required assistance from an Attendant after being reluctant to come forward onto the barrier.

SANS AU REVOIR - raced wide throughout. Weakened final bend. 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. After hearing from Miss Coppins Stewards took the matter no further.

IT'S NOT KATHY - badly hampered by a weakening runner near the 950m then shifted outwards forcing HEAVEN HIGH wider on the track. Stewards questioned Drivers T Cameron (IT'S NOT KATHY) and M Ranger (HEAVEN HIGH) in relation to this incident. It was established that HEAVEN HIGH had lay inwards when IT'S NOT KATHY shifted ground to its inside and overreacted. Notwithstanding this Mr Cameron was advised to exercise greater care when shifting ground in similar circumstances in the future.
MISS CHEROKEE - lay outwards and had to be steadied when awkwardly placed to the inside of IT'S NOT KATHY over the concluding stages. Driver J Dunn advised he had difficulty steering the filly on several occasions.
IT'S NOT KATHY - over-raced middle stages. Checked by an outside runner passing the 100m and paced roughly before breaking near the 60m finishing in 4th place. Promoted to 3rd place following the protest hearing. Stewards exercised their discretion under the Breaking Horses Regulation in relation to this runner's promoted 3rd placing given that the filly broke as a result of interference.
CHANEL NOIRE - when questioned regarding the performance driver H Orange advised the mare had over-raced during the running with the effort taking its toll.
CHANEL NOIRE - Driver Z Butcher was shown the replay and warned for the manner in which he shifted ground near the 1700m which resulted in JUST JAMES having to be steadied and conceding its position. Checked by a breaking runner near the 450m.

MS COLLINS - broke briefly as the start was effected. Paced roughly near the 1050m. Paced roughly on several occasions in the run home and lay in near the 50m hampering an inside runner.
CAPTAIN KOBE - Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1700m when this runner raced wider on the track after shifting out off the back of TASI AHNAU. It was established that TASI AHNAU had shifted up the track when being steadied near the 1750m prior to CAPTAIN KOBE reaching its sulky wheel. These two runners then locked wheels briefly approaching the 1500m.
FRANCO SALAH - raced wide early and middle stages before being restrained to the rear. Lost contact with the body of the field near the 1200m and was retired from the event. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding had suffered an atrial fibrillation. Stood down pending a veterinary clearance including the results of an ECG prior to completing one satisfactory trial before resuming.

Comment:
Resumes tonight after sound campaign ended in Nov. Watch market moves here.
The start was delayed due to IM A ROCKSTAR refusing to come into line requiring the assistance of the Starting Attendant at the first attempt. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding.
IM A ROCKSTAR - hampered by a weakening runner near the 400m. Trotted roughly in the run home and was unable to be fully driven out by driver E Johnson.
The start was delayed at the first attempt when IM A ROCKSTAR bounded forward and breasted the front barrier. A warning was placed on the gelding's barrier manners.
IM A ROCKSTAR - fractious prior to the start and stood on the mark when the barrier was released losing considerable ground. Lay in contacting a track marker entering the first turn. When questioned regarding the performance Driver C Hackett advised that losing the early ground and then racing without cover from near the 1300m had taken its toll.
