FOX TERROR - momentarily placed in restricted room by WOODLEA DIAMOND racing into the first bend and raced inside and struck track markers with one being dislodged. Stewards questioned drivers B Orange (FOX TERROR) and K Cameron (WOODLEA DIAMOND) regarding this and after hearing their explanations it was established that WOODLEA DIAMOND had shifted inwards when clear however had been slow to react due to hanging outwards and when being restrained FOX TERROR had lay inwards which had contributed to the incident. After viewing the films which confirmed this, Stewards took the matter no further.
