Don't Doubt Marley	Hampered by KAPGUN on jumping away and had to be steadied and lost ground. Jockey M. Cahill was asked to comment on the performance. He indicated that, in his opinion the overall performance was disappointing and that he had expected to settle at the tail of the field as the mare has a history of being slow to begin. He indicated this was the case after suffering interference on jumping. He added that he had considered improving to a position midfield in an attempt to trail ZIP TO THE MOON, however as he had been instructed by trainer Mr D. Vandyke to ensure that the horse had clear running	Sunshine Coast	20/11/2016
Sister Patti	Tightened for room soon after the start when COLLAR’S UP shifted in. Near the 900m forced wider by another runner. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any apparent abnormalities at the time of examination. Trainer L Ross advised that the filly would now be sent for a spell.	Gold Coast	22/04/2017
Sol Witness	Stewards questioned B. Grylls regarding the tactics she adopted in the middle stages when she steadied her mount after having secured the lead, which resulted in her being in a trailing position. She stated that approaching the 1200m she did not wish to have to pressure her horse to hold the lead when HIDDEN GOLD improved to her outside so she elected to steady and allow that runner to cross. She added that shortly thereafter RED CHANDELIER improved to a position inside her heels and she was obliged to settle in the position one off the fence. Stewards noted the explanation.

Race 7
Real Classic	Rider J. Byrne was questioned as to the tactics he adopted. Of concern to stewards was a section of the race between the 600m and 400m when whilst following THE GRINGO, which commenced to weaken, jockey Byrne elected to improve to the inside of that horse when it appeared he had an opportunity to improve around THE GRINGO. He explained that at this point he had initially thought that THE GRINGO might maintain its position until entering the home straight, however when it became apparent the horse was commencing to weaken he elected to attempt to improve on the back of UNCHARTED, which had sh	Sunshine Coast	13/08/2017
