Raced three wide briefly near the 1100m after LEESA CASTLETON shifted outwards from the marker line. Stewards investigated a perceived breach of the Push Out Rule at this stage of the race however after viewing replays it was established that LEESA CASTLETON had commenced to shift outwards prior to TRAMPS LIKE US covering its sulky wheel. Accordingly, Stewards took the matter no further.
