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.

FEARLESS - pre-race warmed. Broke at the start losing ground. Broke again passing the 2200m losing further ground. Trotted roughly in the middle stages when over-racing. Broke again on a further occasion near the 40m and failed to settle, being lapped on by CRACKERJACK and SANS AU REVOIR. Stewards lodged a protest under Rule 870(5) against this runner's 3rd placing alleging the gelding was lapped on at the finish line. After viewing replays connections did not contest the protest and FEARLESS was relegated to 5th placing by the Stewards. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners.
