Olsen in relation to the apparent poor performance of BOYS ROUND HERE compared to its previous six starts. Mr Olsen stated that the dog is not a good beginner and that the majority of his good form had been from an inside box, drawn mainly 1 and 2, and that starting from box 5 was not the best position to start from knowing that the dog is slow away. Mr Olsen’s comments were noted.
