LIBERTY’S MAGIC (S. Pawsey) was slow into stride as the start was effected.

Stewards questioned apprentices B. Swaffer (DESPERATE WOMAN), J. Kuskopf (LIDEEM) and S. Wiseman (DAZZLE ON) in relation to an incident at approximately the 800 metre point where DAZZLE ON was checked whilst racing on the outside of DESPERATE WOMAN with LIDEEM racing on the outside and advance of DAZZLE ON. It was ascertained that J. Kuskopf allowed her mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of DAZZLE ON then eased the pace resulting in DAZZLE ON clipping the heels of LIDEEM. The back straight film was unavailable due to a malfunction with the equipment and the front straight footage was inconclusive. Subsequently stewards issued apprentice Kuskopf a severe reprimand for what appeared to be carelessness on her part.
