KUSAMA - shifted outwards leaving the final bend contacting the front leg of PARTY UP DENARIO which broke briefly losing ground. Stewards questioned drivers C Ferguson (KUSAMA) and B Barclay (PARTY UP DENARIO) where it was established that Mr Ferguson had begun his outwards movement when sufficient advantage over outside runners existed, however PARTY UP DENARIO had been slow to react to the movement resulting in the advantage over SPORTY CHARLIE to the outside of Mr Barclay dissipating and contact being made. After viewing the replays which confirmed this Stewards could apportion blame to no one driver or horse and took the matter no further.
