|---|---|
| VALYNDA - driver C Wigg (assisted by J Cox) defended a charge under Rule 869(4)(6)(b)(c) alleging that she shifted outwards passing the 1600m forcing MOODY RIVER (B Wilmott) wider on the track. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from all parties the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the charge. | |
| MOODY RIVER - forced wider on the track near the 1600m when VALYNDA shifted outwards. | |
| MAYBE - when questioned regarding the improved performance trainer M Purvis advised the gelding had raced without luck at its last start and had made ground in the run home after being positioned towards the rear of the field. Mr Purvis added he had made several gear changes to improve the gelding's steering and the horse had received an economical run throughout. | |
| WILL HE ROCK - paced roughly shortly after the start and had to be steadied. Raced wide early before being restrained to the rear of the field near the 1400m. Again paced roughly in the run home. Driver S Manawatu was warned for the manner he drove leaving the final bend when crowding an inside runner. | |

| CAB CALLOWAY - held up early in the run home.
