GOTTA GO MIKI - broke near the 150m losing its chance. A warning was placed on the racing record of the mare. 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.

GOTTA GO MIKI - slow to score up before being placed in restricted room when the outside runner lay in and was back from position at dispatch. Starter D Blakemore advised Stewards that he had called to Driver L Hollis late in the score up with Mr Hollis indicating that he was receiving sufficient room to be in position. After considering the matter Stewards took no further action other than to note the circumstances.

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.

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. Authorisation of 4th placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied that this runner had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation in the early stages. 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.
