Katsidis stated that LA BELLE VITESSE had raced greenly in the early stages of the race, however approaching the turn he felt that whilst the filly was travelling reasonably well, he elected to take a run to the inside rather than endeavour to take a run to his outside. He added that the LA BELLE VITESSE did not feel comfortable in the heavy going and that the filly may be coming to the end of its preparation. Trainer R.
