Stewards inquired into why both Whatatime and Donnabelle were both checked on the home turn. After taking evidence from riders M Aspinall (Searich), M Dracos (Whatatime), K Yoshida (Luskin Warrior) and D Green (Donnabelle) it was established that Luskin Warrior made contact with Searich when shifting in to avoid the heels of Sawwin. Searich then shifted in abruptly tightening the running of Donnabelle and Whatatime. Stewards took no action due to the contributing factors. Romalong returned to scale lame on the near fore. Trainer G Scott was advised that a Veterinary Certificate was required for Romalong prior to his next start.
