KARDASHIAN - lay in and proved difficult to steer for driver T Robertson near the 800m, contacting several track markers. Continued to lay in when weakening rounding the final bend. Stewards questioned driver T Robertson regarding the tactics he adopted during the early and middle stages when being challenged for the lead by the favoured SHE'S A JEWEL. Mr Robertson stated that his intention was to restrain and obtain cover however due to the mare over-racing and laying in he was unable to do so, adding that when SHE'S A JEWEL (B Williamson) attempted to take the lead KARDASHIAN commenced to race fiercely proving very difficult to steer. After viewing the replays which supported Mr Robertson's explanation, Stewards took the matter no further other than to place a warning on the racing record of KARDASHIAN. Mr Robertson also advised he would be suggesting gear changes to connections.

RAKNRUIN - hampered by a breaking runner racing into the first bend. Over-raced early and middle stages. Held up in the run home with driver B Barclay reporting he did not activate the removable deafeners in consequence.

Mr Barclay explained that when he attempted to shift wider rounding the final bend the filly had locked on the outside rein causing him difficulty, adding he was reluctant to persist due to the filly breaking in similar circumstances in previous starts. Stewards noted Mr Barclay's comments.
