It was established that TASI AHNAU had shifted up the track when being steadied near the 1750m prior to CAPTAIN KOBE reaching its sulky wheel. These two runners then locked wheels briefly approaching the 1500m.

ROUGH AND READY - had some difficulty obtaining clear running in the middle stages of the home straight. When questioned regarding the tactics adopted Driver K Coppins stated that she elected not to improve around in the middle stages as she had on the first day due to GOTTA ELECT BILL having secured the parked position, which she felt would then not be available.

CHANGE TACT - placed in restricted room late in the run home when horses either side shifted ground. Stewards questioned drivers M White (CHANGE TACT) and K Coppins (ROUGH AND READY) in relation to an incident passing the 400m when ROUGH AND READY contacted and punctured the sulky tyre of CHANGE TACT. It was established that ROUGH AND READY had commenced to improve to the inside of CHANGE TACT simultaneously to BLUE CHIP LOU shifting outwards which resulted in the contact occurring. Given the circumstances Stewards deemed that neither driver was solely at fault and took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances.
