Stewards questioned the riding tactics adopted by apprentice E. Cass by racing forward and wide for most of the journey and finish tailed off.  Apprentice Cass stated that her riding instructions were to ride forward and obtain a position on the rail. She further stated that in hindsight she should have taken a trailing position in the early stages.  Trainer S. Cooper advised his riding instructions were to obtain a position on the fence if possible and agreed with Ms Cass a better option may have been more beneficial. Stewards advised Ms Cass in their opinion she erred in the early stages of the race and better options would be expected from an apprentice of her experience in similar circumstances.
