Questioned re: actions in locking back over shouder on two occasions. Rider advised horse had been slow to begin and expected to settle midfield. Therefore, suprised when jumped well and found itself in lead. Had a look near the 700m when one of the two expected leaders improvide to his outside. Then had another look near the 400 to ascertain if he could shift out across the heels of runner outside of him but was unable to do so when other runner commenced to improve to his outside. Stewards noted explanation but expressed their concerns and advised jockey not leave riding open to question.

Questioned re tactics - rider, intention to settle on speed, when caught wide early attmpeted to obtain cover in handy position but gleding commenced to race strongly so improved to settle outside leader. Again tried to restrain to sit back off leader but was unalble to as it continued to race strongly in middle stages. Laid out under pressure in the straight and of the opinion it had come to the end of its prep. Trainer confirmed gelding would be sent for spell.
