KOTARE KELSO - raced greenly shortly after the start briefly crowding an inside runner. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Raced wide early. Checked and broke late in the run home when TROUBLESHOOTER shifted inwards with the gelding continuing on in a break over the finish line and was lapped on by STANLEY'S RULE. Authorisation of 3rd placing was withheld until Stewards had spoken to driver S Thornley and were satisfied the gelding had been in the incorrect gait at the finish as a result of interference.

Authorisation of 1st placing was withheld until Stewards had spoken to driver B Orange (TIMES ARE A CHANGIN) placed 3rd, who confirmed he did not wish to proceed with a protest.
