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.

BETTOR WAY - broke passing the 400m losing all chance. Stewards spoke with driver K Butt regarding this incident who advised that she had shifted her runner wider on the track to avoid a weakening runner rounding the final bend and after doing so had then attempted to shift back down the track and follow the helmet of HAVTIMEWILLFLY, however BETTOR WAY had swung its off hind leg out making contact with the sulky wheel of DENY EVERYTHING which was racing to her outside, and broke in consequence. After hearing from Miss Butt and viewing the replays Stewards were satisfied with the explanation tendered and took no further action other than to place a warning on the racing record of BETTOR WAY and note the circumstances.
