SPIRITUAL BLISS - held up for clear racing room until near the 150m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities. Stewards questioned driver T Williams regarding his decision to shift outwards leaving the final bend instead of remaining in the trail and waiting for the available run in the passing lane in the run home. After considering Mr Williams explanation, Stewards issued a charge under Rule 868(2) which Mr Williams defended, alleging he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to win or obtain the best possible finishing place. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr Williams, the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the charge.

MILLWOOD GODDESS - Stewards questioned driver J Dunn regarding the tactics he adopted in the early stages when HI HOPES was able to shift inwards ahead of his runner. Mr Dunn advised that after initially urging his horse forward with the whip the mare had paced roughly and had hung outwards resulting in him having to steady his horse. After considering Mr Dunn's explanation which was supported by the video replays, Stewards took the matter no further.
