HUGO - slow to leave the pre-race formation and was out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver S O'Reilly. Stood down to trial to the satisfaction of Stewards on one occasion from a mobile start prior to resuming. Lay inwards when being eased down the track racing into the first bend and paced roughly losing ground. Paced roughly when racing over the crossing near the 1550m.

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.
