Lay inwards for a distance and paced roughly when being shifted wider on the track near the 950m. Again lay inwards rounding the final bend causing driver A Edge difficulty and struck the sulky wheel of ARCHIE and broke and shifted inwards checking EVIDENTLY which fell dislodging driver K McClintock.

Notwithstanding this driver A Cameron was shown a replay and warned to ensure she does not allow her runner to race inside track markers.
