Stewards considered the submissions of the relevant parties and after viewing the patrol films it was established that FLYING ANNIE initially shifted inwards under pressure placing BRAT in restricted room passing the 200m and after being corrected again shifted in near the 100m resulting in BRAT having to check to avoid heels. After considering the margin between both runners at the finish and the manner both horses finished the race, Stewards dismissed the protest and declared correct weight.
