GANDALF - had to be steadied near the 1300m when CAULFIELD shifted out from the marker line. After viewing the replays it could not be established that GANDALF had reached CAULFIELD's sulky wheel prior to Driver D Butcher commencing his outward movement and no further action was deemed necessary.

BROOKSIDE GIRL - commenced to improve with a three wide trail behind BUGALUGS near the 700m but was unable to hold that runner's back rounding the final turn and only battled in the run home to finish at the rear. When questioned Trainer/Driver D Butcher stated that this was the filly's first race back from a spell and although she had trialed well leading into the event he expected her to derive benefit from the run. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormality.
