HONEYCOMB - lay in over the concluding stages. Driver P Hunter was issued with a warning for using his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion early in the run home.
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.
DELIGHTINGOLD - weakened over the concluding stages. Driver M Hurrell advised that the mare had been striking the sulky wheel discs during the running.
RAKATURBO - hung outwards early in the run home and was slow to respond when driver C Dalgety attempted to utilise the passing lane which allowed the trailing DELIGHTINGOLD to improve to his inside, resulting in RAKATURBO having some difficulty obtaining clear running over the concluding stages.
RAKAVENOM - paced roughly before breaking rounding the final bend losing all chance. Stood down to trial to the satisfaction of Stewards on one occasion prior to resuming.
RAKAVENOM - weakened rounding the final bend hampering trailing runners. When questioned regarding the performance driver H Douglas advised that the mare had over-raced in the middle stages after obtaining the lead with the effort taking its toll. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
RAKAVENOM - shifted off the marker line near the 900m then made contact with the sulky of TREASURE CHEST and broke in consequence, checking an outside runner near the 800m and losing all chance. Junior driver H Douglas, assisted by M Williamson, was issued a subsequent charge alleging that he drove carelessly in this incident with the matter being adjourned sine die by the Adjudicative Committee.
FEAR GOGH - weakened final bend hampering a trailing runner. When questioned regarding the performance driver T Williams advised the mare had worked too hard in the early stages to maintain the lead. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a slow recovery.

CLAASEE - out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver B Barclay. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the mare. Raced wide early.
MONTAGE - contacted the near side sulky wheel of CLAASEE when trailing that runner near the 1200m when driver D Anderson was activating gear, then paced roughly briefly hampering trailing runners. Mr Anderson, assisted by B Williamson, defended a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) alleging that he drove carelessly in this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from all parties the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and following penalty submissions imposed a fine of $250.
CLAASEE - driver R McIlwrick reported that he sustained a punctured sulky tyre which came off the rim racing into the first bend when racing to the inside of TUNEINSPORTSFANS, with the mare being retired from the race. After speaking with drivers R McIlwrick and S Ottley (TUNEINSPORTSFANS) and viewing the replays which proved inconclusive, Stewards were unable to apportion fault to any one horse or driver and accordingly took the matter no further.

RAKAMICK - raced wide early stages. Raced wider on the track near the 1400m when HE'S ROBYN shifted outwards from the running line.

HE'S ROBYN - hung out near the 1500m hampering outside runners. Paced roughly and broke near the 1400m hampering trailing runners, losing all chance. A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding.

MATAI LIZZIE - raced wide early. Junior driver E Adams, assisted by M Williamson, was questioned in relation to the reason she failed to ease RAMBLIN ROVER down to the marker line when the opportunity presented itself for a distance passing the 1200m, thereby allowing her runner to obtain the one/one position. After considering her explanation, together with her relative inexperience Stewards advised her that greater judgement and tactical awareness would be expected in similar circumstances in the future, particularly where an opportunity exists to obtain a more advantageous racing position without placing her runner at a disadvantage.
RAMBLIN ROVER - lay in early in the run home briefly placing an inside runner in restricted room, having to be straightened by driver D Anderson. Mr Anderson was issued with a warning for using his whip in a continuous manner in the run home.
RAMBLIN ROVER - held up early in the run home. Driver M Williamson advised he was unable to activate the removable deafeners due to the cord becoming entangled.
CASH IS KING - raced three wide without cover through the middle stages. Raced wider on the track near the 1200m when TRENDY'S STAR (M Hurrell) shifted out. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule where it was established that driver M Hurrell had commenced his outwards movement prior to CASH IS KING reaching his sulky wheel, accordingly no further action was required. Cleared from the Unruly for future mobile starts.

A warning was placed on the barrier record of BY CHANCE. Driver M Hurrell elected to remain in his allocated barrier position for the restart.
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.
JIMMYRAY - broke at the start checking an inside runner losing ground. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Weakened leaving the final bend.
RAKAMURPH - broke shortly after the start losing ground. Weakened final bend. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have a small abrasion to the inside of the off fore leg.
RAKAMURPH - underwent a pre-race veterinary examination due to not having raced for a considerable period of time and was cleared to start. Weakened in the run home. When questioned regarding the performance driver N Williamson advised the gelding was not suited to the fast tempo of the race in what was its first performance for 12 months and in his opinion will derive considerable benefit from the run. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
