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.

KATAMA - Co-Trainers M & N Purdon were issued a $100 Minor Infringement Notice for presenting the filly to race with blinds which had not been notified. Broke approaching the 2000m after contacting the sulky wheel of BIG HERB which was crossing to the lead, checking and hampering trailing runners before settling. An investigation was held into this incident and after hearing from Junior Driver B Wilkins (KATAMA), assisted by T Herlihy, Driver M McKendry(BIG HERB) and viewing the replays it was established that KATAMA had over-raced when being crossed by BIG HERB contacting that runner's sulky wheel despite the efforts of Ms Wilkins. Broke again near the 1200m hampering a trailing runner losing its chance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant abnormality. A warning was placed on the filly's racing manners.
