ROBYNS HUSTLER - raced three wide with cover from the 1000m. Stewards questioned driver M Hill regarding the manner he drove near the 1400m when he restrained his runner which allowed PARADISE VALLEY to shift in to take a position in the running line. Mr Hill explained he was aware that if he did not take hold he would have been pushed down to the marker line by the runner to his outside which he felt would have been detrimental to his chances. Stewards noted Mr Hill's comments.
