Passing the 800 metres HYDRIVE (S Wilson) and PERFECT RAINBOW (T Bannon) both lost ground when racing to the inside of MR BULISTA (App. N Yadi) which had shifted in slightly away from SHADOW LINE (S Kaya). SIGNIFICANT CHOICE (W D’Avila) which was following also lost ground as a result of this incident. After hearing evidence and viewing patrol footage Stewards formed the opinion that App. N Yadi had made sufficient effort, at this point, to relieve pressure to runners on his inside, and were unable to apportion responsibility for the incident on any individual rider.

SIGNIFICANT CHOICE: Shifted in under pressure in the home straight forcing another runner inwards.

PEMBERTON: Was taken in by another runner in the home straight and, as a result, was held up for clear running over the concluding stages of the event.
