GEORGIE ZUKOV - raced wide from the 800m. Weakened final bend. When questioned regarding the performance driver J Cox advised the gelding had over-raced through the middle stages and had failed to respond when placed under pressure. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a high heart rate and slow recovery. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.

GEORGIE ZUKOV - raced wide early. Lay inwards in the middle stages of the run home and shifted into the passing lane having to be corrected by its driver. Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld until Stewards had spoken to driver R Close (FLYAWAY) placed 3rd, to ascertain whether he wished to lodge a protest after GEORGIE ZUKOV had shifted into the passing lane. Mr Close advised his chances had not been affected and elected not to proceed with a protest.
