DEFY ME - broke at the start losing ground. Placed on the unruly for future standing starts. Became awkwardly placed close to the sulky of HELIUM racing into the first bend after a slight easing of the pace and had to be shifted wider on the track. Authorisation of 4th placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation in the early stages.

HELIUM - over-raced early and middle stages causing driver R Harrison considerable difficulty. Shifted up the track when leading passing the 750m which allowed a trailing runner to improve to the inside. Lay inwards rounding the final bend when weakening crowding an inside runner. Junior driver R Harrison (assisted by trainer K Barron) was shown a replay of the manner she drove passing the 750m and advised to make a greater effort to ensure she does not allow her horse to shift wider on the track. In taking this course of action Stewards were mindful of the racing manners of the gelding and placed a warning on the racing record of the horse.

LAVER - weakened from the 800m. When questioned regarding the performance driver G O'Reilly advised the gelding had raced lethargically from the 800m after improving wide through the middle stages and he was disappointed with the effort. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a slow recovery. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.
