HELIUM - over-raced early and middle stages causing driver R Harrison considerable difficulty. Shifted up the track when leading passing the 750m which allowed a trailing runner to improve to the inside. Lay inwards rounding the final bend when weakening crowding an inside runner. Junior driver R Harrison (assisted by trainer K Barron) was shown a replay of the manner she drove passing the 750m and advised to make a greater effort to ensure she does not allow her horse to shift wider on the track. In taking this course of action Stewards were mindful of the racing manners of the gelding and placed a warning on the racing record of the horse.
