DELTA KILO - when questioned regarding his decision to shift away from the leader FRANCO HOFFMAN's back near the 200m Driver W House stated that DELTA KILO had been causing him some difficulty when laying in so he felt it was a better option to shift out on to the back of the improving BLUE CHIP LOU rather than risk contacting the sulky wheel of FRANCO HOFFMAN that appeared to be under pressure. Mr House added that with hindsight he may have been better served to have looked to regain the lead midrace.

JAHI - crowded prior to racing into the first bend when outside runners had shifted inwards. Raced over track markers and broke entering the first bend losing ground checking and hampering trailing runners. Stewards questioned drivers C Hackett (JAHI), assisted by T Mitchell, F Schumacher (MAJOR BREAK) and H Orange (THE BEACH HOUSE) regarding firstly the crowding prior to racing into the first bend and secondly the breaking entering the first bend. After hearing from all parties and viewing the replays Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any one driver and took the matter no further.
