HOOAH (H. Hancock) – Checked and broke gait due to a galloping runner leaving the back straight on the second occasion.
DILO SPIRIT (C. Playle) – After initially trailing in a position in the one wide line racing in the back straight on the second occasion, as FEELING EMPATHY (D. Miller) has shifted from a position on the pegs to the one wide line, Driver C. Playle has elected to shift inwards to the peg line racing out of the back straight on the second occasion when clear to do so and simultaneously as he has elected to shift down, HOOAH (H. Hancock) which was initially racing on the peg line and behind DILO SPIRIT has improved quickly to that geldings inside where DILO SPIRIT then raced in restricted room with Driver C. Playle attempting to correct his drive outwards resulting in DILO SPIRIT making contact with the off side sulky wheel of CONSTELLATIONJEWEL (E. Suvaljko) with the gelding then breaking gait. Stewards after viewing the available patrol films were of the opinion that Driver C. Playle had not driven in a careless manner in the circumstances and took no further action.
