JESSIE LINCOLN - raced wide early. Hampered when having to race wider on the track near the 1750m after LAYTON DAVID shifted out from the running line. It was established that Driver T Cameron (LAYTON DAVID) had commenced his outward movement prior to JESSIE LINCOLN reaching his sulky wheel and no further action was deemed necessary. Continued to race wide middle stages before crossing to the parked position approaching the 1200m.
