SHOULDBETWOBYTWO – Checked behind the tiring JOHNNY DEE between the 500 metres and 300 metres.

JOHNNY DEE – Stewards questioned Driver H. Ross in regards to the driving tactics adopted in the early stages of the event in particular the quick 1^st quarter. H. Ross stated that he had to make use of his gelding in the early stages to find the lead and once obtaining that position the gelding commenced to over-race. H. Ross added that approaching the 1000 metres he was able to slacken the tempo however it took longer than he would have liked. Stewards noted the comments.

MANKIND – Tired from the 500 metres to be beaten 61 metres. Driver P. Sapio advised that after having to use the gelding in the early stages of the event the gelding wasn’t suited to racing outside the lead during the quick early tempo. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. In view of the performance the gelding will be stood down until it can complete one satisfactory trial.

SHEZA LENNY – Post-race swab sample.

THERES WALLY – Pre-race blood sample. Stewards questioned Driver D. Morris in regards to his driving tactics from leaving the 800 metres. D. Morris stated that he was able to find a position in the running line without doing any work in the early stages of the event and due to the slow tempo he considered moving three wider near the 1200 metres however when SHEZA LENNY moved three wide he elected remaining towards the rear of the field. D. Morris further added that he elected to make a three wide move near the 800 metres as he was of the opinion that the tempo of the event had slackened and therefore he was able to improve quickly and for that reason he continue to press for the lead which he was able to obtain. D. Morris added that the gelding had a tendency to hang in slightly over the final 400 metres which placed him at a slight disadvantage. Stewards noted the comments.
