HUKI FELLA - underwent a pre-race Veterinary examination and was cleared to start. Hampered by a breaking runner rounding the first bend. Weakened from the 500m hampering a trailing runner. Stewards investigated a perceived breach of the Push Out Rule when HUKI FELLA raced wider on the track near the 1700m when SWEET SOUTHERN LASS shifted ground outwards. After hearing initial evidence from drivers M Hurrell and B Williamson (SWEET SOUTHERN LASS) and viewing the replays Stewards adjourned the matter sine die due to the drivers having to leave the course with travel commitments. When questioned regarding the performance driver M Hurrell advised that after being hampered rounding the first bend and racing wider on the track near the 1700m the gelding had then worked hard to obtain the parked position with the effort taking its toll over the concluding stages, adding he was not disappointed with the run. A post-race Veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormality.
