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.

DELTA KILO - Trainer M House was issued a $50 Minor Infringement for the late notification the gelding would race with removable deafeners instead of the notified fixed deafeners. Driver W House reported he did not activate the removable deafeners due to having the field covered.
