Horse Comment Venue Date
 
Race 1
Wild Ava Rider questioned re why did not avail himself to a run directly in front in early stages of home straight rather than shifting out around heels of NARDOO, resulting in contact on 2 occasions with I LIKE CANDY. Initially considered improving was of view track firmer towards inside and with the option he took he did so as he was of the view that I LIKE CANDY was weakening and would have allowed his horse clear running.
