A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Mr Orange elected to remain in his allocated barrier position for the restart. Raced greenly in the score up of the restart and was out of position at the start. Placed on the unruly for future mobile starts.

MYNAMEISJACK - Stewards questioned driver G Smith regarding the tactics he adopted rounding the first bend when electing to restrain his runner which allowed STUMPY BLACKLER to shift inwards ahead of him. Mr Smith advised that the gelding had been pacing roughly and was of the opinion TWICE THE CHARM would improve to the lead which would have left him to race without cover so felt his best option was to restrain and obtain the one one position. Stewards noted his comments.
