Stewards:

KOTARE YOLANDE - broke in the score-up checking IDEAL DRAW, necessitating a false start be declared. Driver J Dunn elected to remain in his allotted position for the restart, however after further indiscretions the filly was sent to the Unruly position on the outside of the second line by the Starter Mr B Ward pursuant to Rule 860(8). A warning was placed on the mobile barrier record of the filly. Initially refused to exit the pre-race circle of the restart with the other runners and was very slow to begin, losing all chance. Following the running of this event the All Clear was withheld until the Stewards had viewed the replays and were satisfied this runner had not been denied a fair start.
