D J ROCK - raced keenly through the middle stages when outside the leader. When questioned regarding the tactics he adopted during the middle stages driver J Stormont reported that he had been reluctant to hand up the parked position to SPARKIE when that runner came forward near the 1100m due to his gelding over-racing and pacing roughly for several strides. Mr Stormont added that he had then been able to restrain his runner to allow SPARKIE to cross down approaching the 800m. Weakened final bend.
