Driver J Kriechbaumer, assisted by Trainer S Abernethy, was questioned regarding the tactics he adopted in the middle stages when electing not to shift out into an available position three back in the running line until near the 750m. Mr Kriechbaumer stated that he had been driving to instructions and felt he had saved ground by not shifting out earlier. Mr Abernethy confirmed that he had given instructions to Mr Kriechbaumer that this runner was best suited when saved for one run and ideally when that was between other horses. He further stated that it was his intention to drive the gelding in this manner where possible in the future. After considering the evidence Stewards took the matter no further other than to note the respective explanations.

IRISH WHISPERS - when questioned regarding the driving tactics adopted Junior Driver Z Meredith, assisted by P Brown, stated that it had been decided to go back from the wide barrier draw at the start and look for a trail into the race in what was the gelding's first run back from a lengthy spell. Mr Meredith further explained that this had not eventuated so he had elected to improve along the markers rounding the final turn and was satisfied with the manner in which this runner finished the event off. Mr Brown confirmed the instructions to go back early given the gate speed drawn to the inside and advised that he would expect the gelding to derive benefit from the first up run.
