TIMBIMBOO - hampered by a breaking runner near the 2000m. Raced wide from the 1900m. Lost ground from the 800m.

KINK - held up final bend. Checked and broke near the 75m when racing to the inside of PHILADELPHIA FILLY. After questioning drivers P Davis (KINK) and A Cameron (PHILADELPHIA FILLY) and viewing the replays, it was established that WRIGGLES RUFUS which was racing in advance of KINK had shifted outwards marginally simultaneous to PHILADELPHIA FILLY shifting inwards marginally resulting in KINK being placed in restricted room and breaking. After considering the matter, Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any one horse or driver and accordingly took the matter no further.
