Prior to the declaration of correct weight, stewards viewed the photo finish image for second.  Subsequently, in the presence of D Reynolds, trainer of MUSIC SCENE placed second and L Wanless, trainer of METRO TRAMP placed third, stewards acting under the provisions of AR214(4)(a) permitted the placings to be amended to DIGGITY – First, METRO TRAMP – Second, and MUSIC SCENE – Third.  Correct weight was declared on these placings.
 
EIGHT OVER – Laid out rounding the home turn and shifted out under pressure in the early stages of the home straight, resulting in CLIVEDEN being taken wider and CASH’N’RUN being hampered.  Rider H Richardson was advised to exercise greater care.  A post-race veterinary examination of EIGHT OVER revealed minor lacerations to the off hind leg, consistent with being galloped on.
