DREAMS PAT - broke near the 850m when competing for a position in the running line with VIRGINIA CLOWERS and lost all chance. Stewards questioned Drivers D Balle (DREAMS PAT) and D Butcher (VIRGINIA CLOWERS) in relation to this incident and after viewing the replays and hearing the relative evidence blame could not be solely attributed to either driver or horse so no further action was deemed necessary.
