PURE COURAGE - lay outwards early in the run home and shifted up the track placing an outside runner in restricted room. Continued to shift outwards in the run home before pacing roughly near the 50m. Driver C Wigg defended a breach of Rule 869(4) and the Home Straight Regulations alleging she failed to maintain a straight course in the run home resulting in ARIZONAWILDCAT being placed in restricted room and hampered near the 200m. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions from Stewards and Ms Wigg, the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the charge.
