WHATZ MY CHOICE - raced greenly for a distance passing the 1200m when unsuccessfully attempting to improve to the lead. Driver C Dalgety was issued a warning for using his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion in the run home. When questioned regarding the performance, Mr Dalgety advised the gelding had peaked on its run after working hard through the middle stages and he expected the horse would derive considerable benefit from its first start back from a spell.

WHATZ MY CHOICE - hampered by a breaking runner shortly after the start. Raced four wide from the 1000m. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule approaching the 1000m however after viewing the replays it was established that driver J Morrison (GEORGIE ZUKOV) had shifted wider prior to WHATZ MY CHOICE reaching his sulky wheel and no further action was required.

MAGENTA - locked wheels with an inside runner passing the 400m losing all chance. Stewards questioned junior driver H Moralde Sands (assisted by T Herlihy) regarding this matter and after viewing the replays and hearing from both drivers it was established that the filly while improving quickly rounding the final bend had hung inwards causing Miss Moralde Sands some difficulty when being shifted wider on the track by MERLE MARY which resulted in both runners locking wheels. After considering all factors, Stewards deemed that no further action was required.

When questioned regarding the incident driver A Butt advised that after having lay in approaching the bend his gelding had then shifted out marginally when being corrected and contributed to the contact occuring.
