SECRET AGENT MAN - held up by a weakening runner final bend. Again held up in the middle stages of the run home. Stewards questioned driver N Williamson regarding his decision to shift wider on the track passing the 150m when clearance existed in the passing lane. Mr Williamson explained he was aware driver M Williamson (COMMANDER BEN) had only commenced to shift inwards near the 150m and he believed he would be blocked for clear racing room if he had continued with an attempt to gain a run in the passing lane. Mr Williamson added he then decided to shift outwards and had finished strongly once gaining clear running inside the final 100m. After considering his explanation and viewing the replays Stewards were satisfied his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.

INSARCHATWIST - over-raced in the early stages and then made an unsuccessful bid for the lead through the middle stages. Weakened final bend. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities. Stewards questioned driver K Green regarding the tactics she adopted in particular when challenging for the lead for a considerable distance through the middle stages before weakening rounding the final bend. After hearing from Ms Green Stewards adjourned the matter to give it further consideration.

MIKI BENNETT - slow in the early stages. When questioned regarding the performance, driver T Williams advised that after being slow to begin, he attempted to obtain a trail into the race which did not eventuate. Mr Williams added that he was not overly disappointed with the performance, noting that the horse was first-up after six weeks and would derive benefit from the run.
