JUKEBOX GYPSY - held up throughout the run home. Driver S O'Reilly defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that she drove carelessly by shifting inwards after 150m when insufficiently clear of SUPERSTAR LEGEND (W House) which had to be restrained and lost its rightful racing position. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from both drivers and Stewards, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and imposed a fine of $400.

WOODLEA JEWEL - briefly crowded near the 1400m after GLORYS DELIGHT had shifted ground inwards. Stewards questioned drivers R Close (GLORYS DELIGHT) and C Dalgety (WOODLEA JEWEL) regarding this incident where it was established that Mr Close had commenced to shift his runner inwards when sufficiently clear of WOODLEA JEWEL however shortly after Mr Dalgety urged his horse forward in an attempt to take up a position three back on the marker line resulting in him having to steady for a short distance when becoming awkwardly placed to the inside of GLORYS DELIGHT. After viewing the replays and considering their explanations, both drivers were reminded of their obligations given similar circumstances in future. When questioned regarding the improved performance Mr Dalgety advised the mare had shown natural improvement from its first start back from a spell and had benefitted from the addition of sliding blinds combined with a drop in class of opposition tonight.
