The Stewards enquired into the reason for the late withdrawal of Banjo, trained by Denis W. Cullen at 5.17 p.m with "Going" given as the reason. Denis W. Cullen stated that he had declared on "Good to Firm" ground with the comment that watering continued.

He complimented the presentation of todays track. Having considered all the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that there was no material change in the ground description since the time of declaration.
