The declaration of correct weight was delayed to afford apprentice C. Bayliss (TREASURE GALLERY) and A. Fancourt (VOLOMITE) the opportunity of viewing the stewards’ patrol footage to determine whether they had grounds on which to lodge objections. After viewing the videos jockey Fancourt indicated that she did not wish to proceed, however, apprentice Bayliss, the rider of TREASURE GALLERY, placed 2nd by the Judge, lodged an objection against IAMPAIDFOR (M. McGillivray) being declared the winner, alleging interference over the concluding stages. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the videos it was established that leaving the 100m IAMPAIDFOR shifted out and brushed TREASURE GALLERY and that near the finish line IAMPAIDFOR made contact with TREASURE GALLERY, which was taken wider. However, given the proximity of the interference to the winning post and the half head margin separating both runners at the finish, stewards could not be satisfied that the interference had a significant effect on the placings and therefore dismissed the objection and declared correct weight on the numbers semaphored.
 
TREASURE GALLERY – Restrained from heels after passing the 800m. Apprentice C. Bayliss was fined $100 for excessive use of the whip prior to the 100m.
 
MAKATITI – Slow to begin. Overraced when the pace slackened approaching the 900m and was obliged to check from heels on two occasions approaching the 700m. Laid in during the early stages of the home straight and was then obliged to alter course near the 100m to secure clear running.
 
IAMPAIDFOR – Became awkward when steadied near the 900m.
 
VOLOMITE – Slow to begin.
 
SCHINDLER – Slow to begin.
