Race 5 - MCNEIL FARMS COLTS, GELDINGS AND ENTIRES RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 HANDICAP       1100 Metres
 
Prior to the declaration of correct weight, Stewards viewed the official patrol footage of the start to establish whether CAPITAL CEE had been afforded a fair start.

Consequently, the gelding began very awkwardly and lost considerable ground. As Stewards were satisfied that CAPITAL CEE had been afforded a fair start and, further, that the actions of the barrier attendant subsequent to CAPITAL CEE rearing were in the interests of the safety and assisting the rider, the gelding was deemed to be a runner and Stewards declared correct weight on the judges’ numbers.
