FOREVER ARDEN - underwent a pre-race veterinary examination after being observed to have blood present in its mouth following the two false starts and was found to have a small cut on its lip being cleared to start. Held up final bend and early stages of the run home. Driver R McIlwrick was questioned regarding the tactics he adopted over the concluding stages of the run home when held up and electing not to take a run to his inside which became available inside the final 100 metres. Mr McIlwrick explained that his gelding had become worked up after the two false starts and having to undergo a veterinary examination. He added that he was hard on the back of MR PRESIDENT and was aware that there was room to his inside over the concluding stages however because the gelding was travelling so well in this position he was reluctant to attempt a shift inwards off Mr Barclay's helmet or activate the removable deafeners for safety reasons, due to being in such close proximity to the sulky of MR PRESIDENT. Stewards accepted and noted Mr McIlwrick's comments.

SHERWOOD MAGGIE - raced wide early. Over-raced middle stages. Hampered by a weakening runner in the early and middle stages of the run home placing driver C Dalgety in some difficulty, resulting in the gelding striking the sulky wheel of FOREVER ARDEN. Stewards questioned junior driver C Dalgety regarding the tactics he adopted during the race, particularly near the 600m, when he allowed his runner to be covered by the sharply improving JENNY GUMP. Mr Dalgety explained that the mare was hanging on the right rein and that he was reluctant to shift three wide at that stage of the race, given the distance remaining to the winning post. Stewards noted Mr Dalgety's explanation and took into account the manner the runner had been driven at its most recent start.

JENNY GUMP - shifted ground inwards near the 600m placing NYLA in restricted room. After speaking with drivers S Walkinshaw and C Ferguson (NYLA) it was established that both horses had moved inwards simultaneously to take the same run with Mr Ferguson's horse being slow to respond when being restrained resulting in his runner being placed in restrcted room. Driver S Walkinshaw was warned to exercise greater care after shifting ground outwards leaving the final bend briefly placing outside runners in restricted room. When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance trainer D McLachlan advised the mare performs best when saved for one run as it was today.
