MURTLE THE TURTLE - unsuccessfully contested for the early lead. Driver J Abernethy was warned for the manner in which he shifted ground approaching the 1000m which resulted in PRINCESS LISA being momentarily hampered. Weakened final turn and lay in contacting a track marker near the 250m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormality. Mr Abernethy was issued a charge under Rule 869(3)(g) alleging that he drove in a manner which diminished his mare's chances of winning by persisting with a challenge for the lead over the initial 550m. The matter was opened and adjourned sine die by the Adjudicative Committee.

GOTTA GO MIKI - broke near the 150m losing its chance. A warning was placed on the racing record of the mare. Stewards questioned drivers C Hackett (DELIGHTFUL CHIC) and L Hollis (GOTTA GO MIKI) regarding a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1200m. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from both drivers, Stewards were satisfied that when driver L Hollis shifted outwards, a full run was available to the inside of DELIGHTFUL CHIC, as this runner was already racing in a three-wide position. Consequently, no further action was taken.
