QUEEN ELIDA - over-raced middle stages. Lay inwards at various stages. Held up until late in the run home and raced inside the last track marker. Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied that the result of QUEEN ELIDA racing inside the last track marker was due to MUSCLE MOUNTAIN laying inwards and there was a clear run prior to this occurring with placings duly authorised.
