BROTHER JOHNSON - lay outwards at various stages during the running and attempted to ease near 1300m when leading. Again, lay outwards in the run home and was reluctant to utilise the passing lane despite the efforts of driver B Williamson. Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld until the Stewards had viewed the footage of the start and were satisfied the gelding had not started in advance of its Unruly position. Lost the near hind plate during the running.
Race 2   THE CHOP CHOP MOBILE PACE
HALEY ROBYN - raced wide from the 800m. When asked to comment on the performance trainer/driver M Williamson advised the mare had worked hard to get into the race and this had taken its toll over the concluding stages.
ROBYNS HUSTLER - held up rounding the final bend and the early stages of the run home.
WHATA RAZZLE DAZZLE - hung outwards near the 150m having to be straightened when driver J Cox activated gear, hampering an outside runner, placing Mr Cox in some difficulty, who became unbalanced and dropped his foot from the sulky footrest in consequence.

HAZER - over-raced middle stages. Reported by driver K Tomlinson to have lay outwards throughout.
SHERWOOD MAGGIE - hung outwards and paced roughly final bend. Stewards questioned driver J Cox regarding the tactics he adopted for a distance near the 700m, in particular electing to race on the marker line when the opportunity existed to shift out and race in the running line. Mr Cox explained that the mare had locked on one rein and that RAKNRUIN which he was trailing was still travelling well at that stage. Mr Cox further added that after working hard early he was of the opinion his horse was best saved as late as possible in an attempt to find the line. Stewards noted Mr Cox's explanation.

Stewards questioned drivers M Hill (STILL ROCKIN), assisted by C Barron, and N Williamson (HACKSAW RIDGE) in relation to this. After hearing from both drivers and viewing replays, Stewards could not apportion sole blame to any one driver and accordingly took the matter no further other than to place a warning on the racing record of STILL ROCKIN.
