After being crossed near the 1400m, shifted out abruptly away from heels, making contact with another runner. Raced keenly in the middle stages. Over the final 200m, laid in.

Steward Comment

Slow to begin. When questioned, Rdr explained with blinkers on, asked to take up a more forward position-said after being slow to begin, rode gelding to sit off the pace, however as obliged to race three-wide without cover passing the 1600m, he elected to push on and take the lead near the 1400m. Tnr confirmed instructions, however; added it has always been the intention to race in a forward position but gelding has been slow to muster speed in recent starts. Tnr reminded of obligations re any proposed change of tactics
