ALWAYSBESECRET - was taken forward three wide near the 1200m to see if the parked position, which was being held by the over-racing HEAVEN HIGH, was available before being restrained back to trail that runner. Weakened rounding the final turn. When questioned Trainer/driver N Chilcott stated that ALWAYSBESECRET had not been suited to the moderate tempo being set so she elected to go forward to put some pace into the event however when it became apparent that HEAVEN HIGH had commenced to race fiercely she immediately desisted with the challenge. Ms Chilcott further advised that this midrace effort had taken its toll. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormality.
