Jockey M Yoshinaga was informed to keep his mounts straighter in future. Jockey N Day was informed to exercise greater care when attempting to obtain a run.

Stewards enquired into the reason RAPT IN BLU clipped the heels of CARPENTARIA near the 50m. It was established that TEMPLE OF ISIS shifted out as CARPENTARIA was attempting to secure a run between TEMPLE OF ISIS and RAPT IN BLU. CARPENTARIA continued to move outwards after obtaining that run and at the same time RAPT IN BLU lay in after being bumped by CARPENTARIA and clipped the heels of CARPENTARIA. Jockey N Day the rider of CARPENTARIA was reprimanded for allowing his mount to shift out and advised that in similar circusmtances he is to exercise greater care.
