ENZO - commenced to improve wide from the 500m but was then forced four wide by an inside runner. Paced roughly rounding the final turn. When questioned regarding the tactics he adopted in the middle stages Driver Z Butcher advised that he had initially commenced to follow DIXIELAND DELIGHT when that runner improved forward three wide near the 1150m but that his gelding had paced roughly so he elected to steady back down into the running line before then attempting to improve racing down the back the last time. Stewards noted Mr Butcher's comments.

ENZO - paced roughly passing the 100m and then broke briefly before shifting out hampering LA MIKI with MOENUI MISS being checked and breaking. Authorisation of this runner's 4th placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation and also that the interference to the 5th placed LA MIKI had not affected the placings. A final warning was placed on the racing manners of ENZO. A hopple middle carrier came adrift inside the final 20m and Stewards were satisfied that this was not the cause of the break but may have occurred as a result so took the matter no further.
