SASSY STAR - authorisation of 3rd placing was withheld after this mare shifted down into the passing lane over the final stages of the run home. After questioning Driver M McKendry and viewing the replays Stewards were satisfied that no unfair advantage had been gained over the 4th placed BARSUKOV and placings were duly authorised. Mr McKendry was warned to make a greater effort to prevent his drive shifting into the passing lane given similar circumstances in the future. Mr McKendry advised that he would be recommending a gear change to connections.

JACCKA BAYLIS - held up rounding the final bend and in the early stages of the run home. Stewards questioned Junior Driver W House, who declined the assistance of a senior driver, in relation to his tactics adopted leaving the 600m when electing to remain on the back of COSMIC ANGEL prior to being covered by the improving PRESIDENT FLYNNTIN. Mr House advised at that stage he was some distance from the finish on a grass track and in his opinion the leader was still traveling comfortably and that it wasn't until near the 400m COSMIC ANGEL had commenced to weaken however he had already been covered at that stage. After considering his explanation and viewing the replays, Stewards were satisfied his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.
