Jockey Wolfgram stated the mare had worked well for the past 2 weeks and had raced up to its work from the previous week. Stewards noted the comments.
When questioned regarding the performance of LOVE HIT ME, trainer T Pascoe stated it was their intention to ride the horse as it had been ridden last start, which was back in the field if at all possible as the horse raced well that way.
