Laid in rounding the home turn. Questioned re tactics - intention to lead outright, thought the other leader drawn inside may begin slowly and attempted to press forward early to attempt to obtain lead. Horse drawn inside was able to muster speed and maintain position to his inside so he continued to ride forward to obtain lead near 1000m. Had he realised other runner was going to continue to ride forward to maintain position to his inside he would have taken hold to sit off that runner instead of continuing to ride forward in early stages.

Questioned re tactcis - noted generally leads and from the inside barrier intention to adopt similar tactics. After beginning fairly obliged to pressure in an effort to obtain a forward position. Was hopeful of holding SUILVEN out and obtaining lead however, when SUILVEN continued to press forward eventually elected to steady and allow that runner to cross forward of her near 1000m. Expressed surprise at tactics adopted on SUILVEN given that at its two most recent starts it settled in a handy position with cover. Explanation noted.
