PLAY THE ACE - over-raced on occasions during the running. Weakened from the 700m hampering a trailing runner. When questioned regarding the mare's performance, and specifically why he shifted out from the trailing position near the 1000m, driver T Mitchell advised the mare had been over-racing in what was its first start for six months causing him some difficulty and for this reason he shifted out as he believed had he not done so the horse might have choked down. Stewards noted Mr Mitchell's comments. Mr Mitchell also indicated that he will be recommending gear changes prior to racing next. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormalities.
