SALUTE - briefly raced wider on the track near the 1400m when RIGHTAZZ shifted outwards. Stewards investigated a perceived breach of the Push Out Rule at this stage of the race, however after reviewing the footage it was established that driver B Williamson (RIGHTAZZ) had commenced his outwards shift prior to SALUTE reaching his sulky wheel, accordingly no further action was taken. Raced greenly near the 900m.
