THE TOWN OF LIGHT - contacted track markers rounding the first bend after having removable deafeners activated. Junior driver D Williams will be spoken to in the coming days regarding this incident. Improved outwards near the 1100m forcing SUPER FUND (O Thornley) to race wider on the track. Junior driver D Williams (assisted by S Thornley) admitted a breach of the Push Out Rule 869(4)(6)(b)(c) and after viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty, the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $200.

TERRORMYLOVE - when questioned regarding the performance driver W House advised the gelding had been unable to improve wide down the back straight on the final occasion due to the strong tempo of the race resulting in him being poorly placed at the rear of the field rounding the final bend. Mr House added he believed the horse was a false favourite considering its recent form was on wet grass tracks.
