NO ADDED SUGAR - raced wider on the track near the 1400m when JENNY GUMP shifted ground outwards.

Placed in restricted room by an inside runner rounding the final bend and breaking near the 300m then locked sulky wheels with HAZER leaving the final bend and losing all chance.

STILL ROCKIN - hung inwards rounding the final bend and was awkwardly placed close to the sulky of HACKSAW RIDGE which had shifted ground marginally and broke hampering trailing runners. Stewards questioned drivers M Hill (STILL ROCKIN), assisted by C Barron, and N Williamson (HACKSAW RIDGE) in relation to this. After hearing from both drivers and viewing replays, Stewards could not apportion sole blame to any one driver and accordingly took the matter no further other than to place a warning on the racing record of STILL ROCKIN.
