When questioned about the reason that they took one another on in the middle stages J Warrington (SPICY GAL) said he was reluctant to surrender the lead at the 700m as the trainer advised him that the filly was not a horse that you could stop and start in races. C Spry (RORY'S ROC) stated that after starting from a wide barrier he took his time to come across and once racing to the outside of SPICY GAL his mount raced very keenly, which is a trait of the filly. Stewards advised both riders that they will note their explanations.
