Iridessa (NZ) Change of tactics, to be ridden back in the field if circumstances permit. Ridden accordingly. When asked to comment on the apparent improved performance, Trainer K. Taplin advised at the horses most recent start at Doomben on the 22nd of November 2023, IRIDESSA (NZ) was caught wide in the early stages of the event and as a result was obliged to race in a more forward position which is in contrast to its usual racing pattern. Ms Taplin added the horse had worked well leading into today’s event and the stable was confident of a forward showing. Stewards noted the explanation. Sunshine Coast 03/12/2023
