AVENGER - held up throughout the run home. Stewards questioned driver W House regarding his decision to shift inwards near the 600m. Mr House explained that at the time he shifted inwards ALMIGHTY CLEVER which he was trailing was under pressure and believed it was his best option to shift inwards in an attempt to save ground instead of being forced to race wider. After considering Mr House's explanation and viewing the replays, Stewards were satisfied his decision at the time was not unreasonable and took the matter no further.

ZIA BROMAC - broke at the start and shifted outwards and became awkwardly placed close to the sulky of FLYING ASHES losing ground. Held up early in the run home. Broke near the 200m losing all chance when awkwardly placed close to the sulky of FLYING ASHES which was weakening and FLYAWAY which had shifted in marginally. Stewards questioned drivers R McIlwrick (FLYAWAY), D Ferguson (ITSAMONEYMAKER) and J Morrison (ZIA BROMAC) regarding this and after hearing from all parties, Stewards were unable to apportion blame onto any one horse or driver and took the matter no further.
