After hearing evidence from the jockeys concerned and from viewing the film stewards were of the opinion no one particular rider could be blamed for the incident however, stewards advised K. Stone who was racing five wide to exercise more caution as he shifted in slightly causing STIEG (S. Pawsey) to shift in resulting in very tight racing. W. D.Avila (HEAVENLY VIEW) racing outside and advance of SIX BOB (N. Bin Yadi) was also cautioned for allowing his mount to shift in.
