BAFFLED - the boring pole was removed prior to the start after warming up unfavourably. Driver R Harrison advised the filly had trotted roughly at various stages in the run home. When questioned regarding the performance connections advised they were not disappointed with the effort after racing up in grade from its last start. Miss Harrison was shown the replay and spoken to advisedly to ensure she does not allow her horse to shift wider on the track leaving the final bend.

OSMIUM - broke racing into the first bend when positioned to the inside of DIAMOND HARBOUR losing all chance. Stewards questioned drivers C Thornley (DIAMOND HARBOUR) and R Close (OSMIUM) regarding this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing from both drivers it was established that Mr Thornley had shifted his runner inwards and commenced to ease OSMIUM down the track when entitled to do so however shortly after as Mr Close was conceding his position, the trailing MONKEYCMONKEYDOO had improved to the inside of both runners resulting in OSMIUM being briefly placed in restricted room and breaking shortly after. After considering the matter, Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any one horse or driver and took the matter no further.
