Steward Comment

Forced wider after passing the 700m. When questioned regarding the tactics he adopted, particularly after passing the 800m, jockey J. Byrne stated that when the tempo eased at the 1000m he elected to improve his position passing the 800m, however GO ON RED, which was being steadied, shifted out near the 700m, forcing him wider on the track. The explanation was noted.

Steward Comment

When questioned regarding her riding in the early stages, apprentice B. Stower stated she was instructed to ride forward and lead if possible, however passing the 1400m she was unable to restrain her mount and as a result the gelding overraced and hung out in the middle stages. Trainer R. Heathcote advised that the horse would now be spelled.

When the pace slowed near the 900m improved to the inside of the heels of another runner and had to be checked.
