MOENUI MISS - Driver J Abernethy was questioned with regard to his decision to leave the one/one position near the 1150m and improve to race outside the leader. Mr Abernethy stated the mare had not handled the bends well on the first day and with driver J Dickie (FINAL CHANGE) sitting back off the leaders he felt it was his best option to improve round at this stage to race handy.
