ZIG ZAG and MASTEROFMYDESTINY jumped outwards. LORD MELBOURNE and ROCKET TRAVELLER lost 1 length. At approximately the 800m ROCKET TRAVELLER was carried out by MASTEROFMYDESTINY, which hung out throughout. Jockey Danielson reported that he felt something amiss with ROCKET TRAVELLER in running. At approximately the 200m DUCHESS OF WINDSOR was carried out marginally on two occasions by DOUBLETHINK, which was hanging out from the 400m. A member of the Stipendiary Board called a race review in to this incident, which was followed by Jockey Habib, the rider of DUCHESS OF WINDSOR, placed second, lodging an objection against DOUBLETHINK, being declared the winner, on the grounds of intimidation and interference in the concluding stages. The Board, after reviewing the patrol film and giving regard to the evidence put forward by the connections of both the horses, was of the opinion that DUCHESS OF WINDSOR would not have finished ahead of DOUBLETHINK and therefore overruled the objection and allowed the judges' result to stand. Jockey Habib's objection deposit fee was refunded. The Board was satisfied that Jockey Habib had made numerous attempts to straighten DOUBLETHINK and therefore took no further action. DOUBLETHINK and DUCHESS OF WINDSOR were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ROCKET TRAVELLER is a gelding. Vet: HOUSE MASTER - choked up; abnormal respiratory noise. HOLLYRIDER - mouth injury. ROCKET TRAVELLER - examined post-race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: ASH - shin sore.
