IT AIN'T ME BABE - pre-raced warmed. Raced wide early. Stewards investigated an incident near the 2000m where IT AIN'T ME BABE was obliged to race three wide briefly when racing to the outside of BANGKOK BETTY. It was established that CON GRAZIA LOVE had sufficient room to improve to the inside of BANGKOK BETTY which meant that Driver J Abernethy had little option other than to follow MELSADELE when that runner shifted out into the running line which resulted in IT AIN'T ME BABE being caught three wide briefly. Given the circumstances no further action was deemed necessary.

SASSY STAR - had some difficulty obtaining clear running early in the home straight. When questioned regarding his apparent lack of vigour Driver T Macfarlane explained that the mare had been galloping in recent trials and at its previous start after having joined Trainer S Cornwall's stable and as a result he had been reluctant to place this runner under undue pressure. Mr Macfarlane further advised that he would not carry a whip with the mare in the immediate future. SASSY STAR was cleared from the unruly for stands at the request of connections.
