GOORAMBAT ART - raced wide early. Hung inwards racing into the first bend and locked wheels with FOVEAUX GAMBLER despite the efforts of driver B Wilmott. A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1400m. After questioning drivers B Wilmott (GOORAMBAT ART), D Roberts (MOTOR MOUTH), A Edge (OFF THE EDGE) and reviewing the replays, it was established MOTOR MOUTH had shifted wider before GOORAMBAT ART reached its sulky wheel. It was also confirmed OFF THE EDGE moved outwards behind MOTOR MOUTH while racing to the inside of GOORAMBAT ART without forcing that runner wider. After considering the drivers' explanations, Stewards concluded no breach of the Push Out Rule had occurred and took no further action.

Trainer J Gray advised Stewards on 19 April MOTOR MOUTH has been treated for stomach ulcers since last racing.

KRYSTAL DELIGHT - raced wide early and middle stages. Driver C Wigg admitted a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) and the Shifting Ground Regulations in that she drove carelessly near the 1350m when attempting to shift MY TEN GUITARS down the track when not having sufficient advantage to do so resulting in that runner being checked and breaking briefly as a consequence. After viewing replays and considering submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $400.
