DAME WEST - out of position at the start. Junior driver M Kyle, assisted by A Kyle, was shown replays of the start and reminded of her obligations in relation to maintaining her correct barrier position until the start point. In taking this course of action Stewards took into account Miss Kyle's lack of experience, this being her second race day drive.

Parkd,1x1,1x2,solid chase

DAME WEST - Stewards questioned driver C Ferguson regarding the tactics he adopted during the running, in particular when easing and allowing an outside runner to take cover near the 1100m. Mr Ferguson explained that when B B CRUNCH, a favoured runner he was following, went forward to attempt to take the lead at this stage of the race he wanted his filly to maintain cover for as long as possible during the race, hence the reason he restrained to allow EBONEZY to shift inwards and give him cover. Stewards noted and accepted Mr Ferguson's comments on this matter.
