The Stewards requested a report from W. McCreery, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Petticoat Rule, placed first, as compared with its recent run at Killarney on the 19th August . W. McCreery reported that the application of a visor and the fast ground conditions were contributing factors for today's improved run.

The trainer reported that his charge had disappointed on its previous run at Dundalk and felt the new surface may have contributed to this.

Having considered the report, the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
