MIDFREW LANDO - raced wide early and middle stages before being restrained to the rear near the 1800m. When questioned regarding the performance Driver K Coppins advised that at this stage of its career the gelding does not possess high gate speed and she had not been able to gain a position in the running line in the early stages so had restrained to the rear. Miss Coppins further advised she had elected to improve round to sit parked when the tempo eased in the middle stages and had received every opportunity.

SHOWTYM GIRL - over-raced before being steadied off the back of IT'S NAE OR NEVER near the 1050m. Junior Driver L Hibell, assisted by N Chilcott, was shown the replay and spoken to advisedly in relation to the manner in which she drove in this incident. In considering this matter Stewards took into account that Ms Hibell had encountered difficulty when activating the hopple shorteners and also the manner in which the mare had been carrying her tail after having broken the tail tie when kicking out in the preliminary which had placed her at a disadvantage.

FINAL CHANGE - raced with its inside wheel protruding inside the track markers for a distance in the run home. Stewards lodged a protest under Rule 869(7B) against the gelding's third placing, alleging that racing with its wheel protruding inside track markers it gained an advantage through obtaining and improving into a run that would not otherwise have been available. After hearing evidence from Stewards, Junior Driver H Orange (assisted by T Herlihy) the Adjudicative Committee upheld the protest and FINAL CHANGE was relegated to 4th place. Junior Driver H Orange (assisted by Z Butcher) admitted an associated charge in that he shifted inwards allowing his sulky wheel to protrude over the marker line in the run home thereby gaining and advantage. After hearing submission on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Orange's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 7 June 2026 (2 days).
