Race 7: XXXX DRY Class 6 Plate 1200 metres
 
Prior to correct weight a protest was lodged by jockey J Guthmann-Chester rider of second placed AXE against SNOWZONE ridden by jockey A Mallyon being declared the winner for alleged interference over the concluding stages. It was established that both horses bumped near the 100m as a result of an initial shift in slightly from AXE which turned SNOWZONE outwards resulting with horses making contact again. After considering the evidence, Stewards were of the opinion that the contact was initiated by AXE and therefore dismissed the objection.
 
AXE – Near the 100m shifted in bumping SNOWZONE.
 
SNOWZONE – Near the 100m was bumped by AXE which shifted in.
