A false start was declared when ALWAYS BEE GEE (S Thornley) backed away and swung sideways just prior to the start and locked wheels with THE LAZARUS EFFECT (B Butt) with both drivers being dislodged. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Prior to the restart both horses underwent a veterinary examination and were cleared of injury. Both drivers were cleared to drive by St John personnel. ALWAYS BEE GEE was sent to the unruly position by the Starter for the restart where the gelding will remain for future standing starts. The start was further delayed due to the Starter not being satisfied with the manner in which the field was addressing the barrier strand.

WISH ME LUCK - held up throughout the run home. Stewards questioned driver O Thornley regarding the tactics she adopted passing the 600m when electing to shift inwards to race on the marker line. Miss Thornley explained that due to the strong tempo of the race the gelding had been under pressure to maintain its position and was laying inwards. Miss Thornley added that she believed her best option was to shift inwards and save ground however had been held up for clear running in the home straight when surrounding runners finished the race off stronger than anticipated. After considering the matter, Stewards were satisfied that Miss Thornley's tactics were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.
