General
Trainer Miss S Royes was reprimanded under the provisions of LR 67(1)(3) for failing to declare a rider by the prescribed time.
 
REAR VIEW MIRROR was declared a late scratching by order of Stewards at 1200pm when no suitable rider was available. Though Senior Jockey Miss B Thomson was not engaged in this race the provisions of the Standard for Licensing Scheme-Thoroughbreds Schedule 2-License Categories Part 14 specifies, Where the Trainer/Jockey License holder has a runner trained by them entered in a race, such person shall not be permitted to take another mount in preference to the stable runner. As Miss Thomson was also the Trainer of EXCEEDING ASSASIN, which had obtained a place in the field and had secured a rider, Miss Thomson was therefore ineligible to assume the ride on REAR VIEW MIRROR leaving no suitable rider available.

TRIX- Stewards accepted the reasons tendered by Trainer Mr J Campeo as to the late rider declaration of Jockey K Aho. Raced wide throughout.
JARS- Shifted in under pressure over the concluding stages. Due to a clerical error, the gelding was advertised as wearing blinkers in the official race program. As this was incorrect, the gelding was permitted to race without that piece of gear.

Upon straightening CHIC SOX (F Edwards) commenced to lay in gradually and passing the 50m shifted in across the running of TRUE MYTH (App D Graham) resulting in that runner having to be restrained momentarily. As a result Jockey F Edwards was reprimanded under the provisions of AR131(a), in considering the matter Stewards took into account the racing manners of CHIC SOX, the tiring run of TRUE MYTH and the degree of interference.

KUMARI- Stewards inquired into the tactics adopted on the mare, which led the field by a considerable distance before tiring in the home straight. Jockey/Trainer Miss B Thomson advised Stewards it had been her intention to be positive on the mare and after beginning well she elected to assume the easy lead. Miss Thomson added further that her attempts to then restrain her mount in an effort to settle  however it commenced to over-race. None the less this was an unusual racing pattern for the mare and Miss Thomson was cautioned and reminded of her obligations under the provisions of AR100(1)(a).
