LA BAMBA - when questioned regarding the performance Driver W House stated that he hadn't been entirely happy with the way this runner had warmed up in the preliminary in what was his first drive on the gelding so he was reluctant to attempt to go forward early which resulted in LA BAMBA racing midfield on the inner. Mr House further stated that he had been unable to make up ground when attempting to improve wide on the final turn.

Mr Austin was reminded of his obligations to ensure he reports to Stewards anything which may have affected the chances of his horse.
