GLIDING HIGH - started wider than its correct barrier position on the second row. Held up early in the run home. Stewards questioned driver A Edge regarding his starting position. Mr Edge explained that the runners ahead of him had locked wheels in the score up which resulted in him shifting wider. After viewing the replays and considering his explanation, Mr Edge was advised to make a greater effort to be in his allocated barrier position at the start in future.

MAJOR HENRY - broke at the start losing ground. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1600m when MAJOR HENRY shifted outwards with ARCHIE racing wider on the track. After speaking with junior driver R Harrison (assisted by J Dunn) and viewing the replays it was established that several runners had been racing loosely and as the replays were inconclusive no further action was taken. Notwithstanding this Miss Harrison was reminded of her obligations when shifting ground.
