SWEET DJ - driver G Goodman was struck by a dislodged track marker passing the 400m. Held up final bend. A post-race veterinary examination of the horse revealed no apparent abnormalities. Stewards questioned junior driver G Goodman, assisted by N Williamson, regarding her decision to shift inwards approaching the 400m resulting in her runner being held up for a considerable distance. After hearing from Miss Goodman and Mr Williamson, Stewards issued a charge under Rule 868(2), which Miss Goodman defended, alleging she failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure her runner finished in the best possible position. After viewing replays and hearing evidence from all parties the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the charge.

SURE TO RISE - shifted ground outwards near the 700m and struck the sulky wheel of JUSTA LILY, breaking briefly in consequence and losing ground. Lay in rounding the bends. Stewards questioned junior driver C Dalgety, who declined the assistance of a senior, regarding the incident near the 700m when striking the sulky wheel of JUSTA LILY. Mr Dalgety explained that the filly was green and over-racing at the time causing him some steering difficulties and did not respond well when being shifted out off the back of the runner in front. Stewards noted Mr Dalgety's comments. A warning was placed on the racing record of the filly.

RASPALIA - raced wide on the track racing into and rounding the first bend when BETTER BE QUICK shifted out. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule however after viewing replays it was established that RASPALIA had never been racing closer in than three wide and BETTER BE QUICK had shifted out to fill the vacant position in the running line. Accordingly, no further action was necessary.
