Trainer C. Waller advised that the gelding would be ridden midfield with cover today if circumstances permit however, after beginning awkwardly, the gelding was caught racing 3 wide without cover until the 700m at which point the gelding was shifted to a 4 wide position when IT’S CHOUX TIME improved to its inside.

Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the tactics adopted, Apprentice T. Williams advised that after pushing forward it was her initial intention to stay outside the leader however, when the pace slackened approaching the 1200m, the gelding commenced to race keenly and she allowed her mount to stride forward to obtain the lead.
