FOUR WISE WOMEN - raced in restricted room after 100m when runners either side shifted ground marginally, locking stays with both HOLLY HIGHLANDER, which had been dictated inwards, and IT'S SO EASY, which shifted ground sharply after locking stays, resulting in the mare breaking and losing considerable ground. After hearing from drivers P Davis (IT'S SO EASY) and T Williams (FOUR WISE WOMEN) and reviewing the films, Stewards were unable to attribute blame to any one horse or driver.
