KISS THE GIRLS - broke at the start hampering trailing runners losing ground. Authorisation of placings was withheld after driver K Butt wished to view replays of the start to ascertain whether she had been denied a fair start after the 10m handheld barrier was marginally delayed in releasing. Stewards spoke with drivers J Dunn (DANCE TILL DAWN), B Butt (FOLLOW YOUR DREAM) and J Morrison (TANZANIA) who confirmed their chances had not been affected. A request for a ruling was lodged with the Adjudicative Committee to determine whether KISS THE GIRLS had been denied a fair start. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from all parties, KISS THE GIRLS was declared to be a runner.
