MAMBO MISS – Jockey M Cox was permitted to ride the mare 0.5kg above its advertised weight. Post race veterinary examination revealed the mare to have a laceration to the off foreleg that required stitching. Trainer T Hess was advised that a veterinary certificate of soundness would be required prior to racing again.
 
SNITZIOLA – Fractious in gates and reared up. Was removed from the barriers and underwent a veterinary examination and subsequently was cleared to start.
Bumped on jumping. Passing the 800m had to be checked when tightened for room and lost significant ground to the inside of MAMBO MISS which was taken in by MASTER DENRHO which shifted in after becoming unbalanced when bumped by I AM MCLOVIN. At a subsequent inquiry Stewards issued a reprimand against jockey M Crawford for this incident. In determining penalty Stewards were mindful of mitigating factors which contributed to the incident.
 
I AM MCLOVIN – Raced four wide in the early stages
 
BYRON BABE – Raced five wide in the early stages. Jockey K Gates was reprimanded for her use of the whip prior to the 100m which exceeded the amount permitted. In determining penalty Stewards noted her good record in relation to this rule and the totality of whip use for the entire race.
