Stewards interviewed trainer K Healy in relation to the riding instructions he intended to issue as the stable had multiple runners.

After considering the evidence of both riders and viewing the available patrol films the Stewards could not be satisfied that ROSEBUD LASS had directly caused any interference to STARTON and therefore the protest was dismissed and correct weight given.
