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.

After considering his explanation Stewards were satisfied his tactics were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.
