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.

Mr Dickie, who had driven the horse in its previous starts, confirmed the horse is difficult to drive early in the score up.
