AUNTIE DEB - Stewards questioned driver H Orange regarding the manner he drove rounding the first bend when restraining to allow SWEET RAINE to improve ahead of him. Mr Orange explained that he was of the opinion both JUKEBOX GYPSY and TEDDY THE TERROR would improve forward to the lead which would leave him in the parked position so felt his best option was to restrain to follow SWEET RAINE to obtain cover, however this did not eventuate when that runner also improved forward to lead near the 1100m. After considering his explanation Stewards were satisfied his tactics were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.

HONEYCOMB - shifted up the track in the run home when racing to the inside of RISE UP N DANCE. Following the race driver N Williamson (RISE UP N DANCE - 2nd placing) viewed the Stewards footage of the concluding stages and elected to lodge a protest against 1st placing being awarded to HONEYCOMB alleging interference in the run home had prevented RISE UP N DANCE from finishing ahead of that runner. After viewing replays and hearing evidence from drivers N Williamson, P Hunter (HONEYCOMB) and Stewards, the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the protest. Driver P Hunter was issued with a warning to make a greater effort to maintain a straight course in the run home.
