SPIRIT OF TUPELO - when questioned Driver T Mitchell advised that he had elected to shift out off the leader's back near the 600m as he felt the filly would be best suited to being allowed to roll at that stage rather than have the race develop into a sprint home.

RIVERGIRL BELLA - lay out passing the 200m. Paced roughly over the final stages. When questioned regarding his decision to shift from the one one position approaching the 800m Driver Z Butcher explained that he was aware that LINCOLN LINDA had jumped shadows rounding the first turn so had been reluctant to follow that filly. Mr Butcher further explained that his runner had not been handling the bends well so felt it was his best option to improve around to the parked position rather than try to make ground wide rounding the final turn.
