LOUIS - held up throughout the run home. Driver R Cameron advised he did not activate the removable deafeners in consequence. Stewards questioned Mr Cameron regarding his decision not to improve into the three wide line prior to being covered by outside runners near the 500m. Mr Cameron advised that LOUIS is best driven when saved for one run and that the gelding had been under pressure for a short distance just prior to runners improving outside him. Mr Cameron further advised he believed the favoured LOGAN ROCK which he was following would improve into the race giving him the opportunity to shift into clear racing room in the run home however LOGAN ROCK had not improved as well as expected resulting in him being held up. After considering his explanation and viewing the replays, Stewards were satisfied his explanation was not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.

GIRL'S NIGHT OUT - Stewards spoke to drivers R Holmes (GIRL'S NIGHT OUT) and H Douglas (SOFIA ROSE) in regard to Mr Holmes' outwards movement near the 1000m. After considering the explanations tendered by both drivers, reviewing all available race footage, and taking into account their own observations, Stewards established that, notwithstanding GIRL'S NIGHT OUT having its head turned outwards, SOFIA ROSE was not dictated wider on the track prior to the 1000m. Accordingly, Stewards determined that no further action was warranted.
