COOL IDEA - over-raced in the middle stages. Lay inwards leaving the final bend.
TISBURY ROCKS - held up on the final bend. Driver K Barclay was issued with a warning for using her whip free of the rein racing into the first bend and again near the 300 metres.
HELEN OF TROY - paced roughly on the final bend and in the early stages of the run home. When asked to comment on the performance driver N Williamson advised the mare was not suited by the sit and sprint nature of the race.

THE OTHER BROTHER - hung inwards and paced roughly rounding the final bend and in the early stages of the run home.

Driver T Robertson drove with his foot removed from the sulky foot rest throughout the home straight. When questioned regarding this Mr Robertson explained that his sulky seat had slipped backwards placing him at a considerable disadvantage. After hearing the explanation tendered, Stewards deemed no further action was necessary.
