Steward Comment

Questioned as to tactics - rider stated intention to obtain handy position. Early stages tried to restrain to obtain cover in one out one back position however horse outside leader continued to restrain preventing him from obtaining cover behind that runner. Therefore elected to stirde forward to eventually settle outside leader. Trainer stated horse had been notoriously slow to begin and with blinkers off today began better than expected resulting in it racing further forward than anticipated. Best suited when ridden with cover.

Near the 1300m steadied from the heels of SCOUTABOUT and continued to over-race for some distance thereafter.
