AVENGER - held up throughout the run home. Stewards questioned driver W House regarding his decision to shift inwards near the 600m. Mr House explained that at the time he shifted inwards ALMIGHTY CLEVER which he was trailing was under pressure and believed it was his best option to shift inwards in an attempt to save ground instead of being forced to race wider. After considering Mr House's explanation and viewing the replays, Stewards were satisfied his decision at the time was not unreasonable and took the matter no further.

SPIRITED LOU - placed in restricted room by an outside runner racing into the first bend. Weakened final bend. Stewards spoke to driver R May regarding the incident racing into the first bend with Mr May advising that due to his runner being best suited to being saved for one run, he elected to restrain to allow GEORGIE ZUKOV to shift inwards in front of him as the pace had increased at this stage and his runner had been unable to maintain contact with the horse he was trailing. Mr May added that his horse had also lay inwards at this time. Stewards noted Mr May's comments.
