HACKSAW RIDGE - hung inwards and paced roughly rounding the first bend and continued to race greenly for some distance when being restrained. Lay inwards in the early stages of the run home placing driver K Green in some difficulty who reported she did not release the removable deafeners in consequence. Stewards questioned Ms Green regarding the tactics she adopted near the 1800m when restraining the gelding allowing an inside runner to shift out and obtain a run in the one out line. After hearing from Ms Green and viewing the replays Stewards adjourned the matter to give it further consideration.
