		REPUBLICAN PARTY - pre-race warmed. Lay inwards and raced roughly having to be steadied near the 450m. MERLIN - pre-race warmed. Raced wide early before being restrained to the rear. Held up final bend and early stages of the run home. Raced in restricted room near the 150m when an inside runner shifted outwards marginally. Stewards questioned Driver Z Butcher regarding his decision near the 950m to shift to a position three back on the marker line. Mr Butcher explained that, given the tempo of the race and his position at that stage, he believed it was the most prudent option to save ground and position himself in advance of REPUBLICAN PARTY and closer to MO'UNGA, whom he considered to be the better chances in the race. Mr Butcher further stated that, had it not been for a marginal shift outwards by a runner to his inside near the 150m, he would have been afforded a clear run to the finish. After considering Mr Butcher's explanation and reviewing the replays, Stewards were satisfied that the decision made at the 950m was not unreasonable under the circumstances and accordingly determined that no further action was warranted.
