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.

Soon 3pegs,1x1 bell,solid bid

The start of this race was delayed approximately 6 minutes due firstly to St John Ambulance personnel attending to driver P Hunter and secondly the sulky tyre on SHOWCASE deflating in the preliminary requiring a change of sulky. As a consequence, Stewards showed leniency in assessing horse penalties for this race due to the long delay.

SHOWCASE - over-raced early stages. Held up final bend and early stages of the run home.
