OUR SPIDER- Stewards advised Apprentice Jockey MacPherson, the rider of the winner, that an opportunity existed when leaving the 1500m to ease her mount so that she would be able to take up a position one off the fence behind BUSH SHINDIG instead of racing three wide throughout. After viewing the film Apprentice MacPherson agreed with Stewards that would have been a better option.
