Just a fair outing last week but will find this a touch easier. Not the worst.

RAGAZZO MAJOR - raced wide early. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule when RAGAZZO MAJOR briefly raced four wide passing the 1200m after MIKI BENNETT shifted ground outwards. After viewing the replays it was established that driver T Williams (MIKI BENNETT) had shifted outwards prior to RAGAZZO MAJOR reaching his sulky wheel and no further action was deemed necessary. Hampered by a weakening runner rounding the final bend.
