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.

A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding. Over-raced and had to be steadied near the 1500m. Lay out rounding the final bend. Authorisation of this runner's 1st placing was withheld until the Stewards had reviewed the footage and were satisfied the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation in the early stages. A subsequent post-race Veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have a laceration to the near front fetlock which was treated by the oncourse Veterinarian. Connections were advised KING'S COMMAND was stood down pending a Veterinary clearance prior to resuming.

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.
