JAZZYS UPSTART - held up early in the run home and again over the concluding stages. Driver S O'Reilly advised she did not activate the removable deafeners or sliding blinds in consequence. Stewards questioned Miss O'Reilly regarding her decision in the latter stages not to shift wider on the track. Miss O'Reilly explained that with several runners in close proximity to her outside, she was uncertain whether she had sufficient advantage over those runners to safely improve wider. After considering her explanation, Stewards were satisfied her decision was not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.
