THE NEXT BEST THING - broke after jumping a shadow near the 650m hampering trailing runners and lost ground before settling.

When questioned Driver W House confirmed that the gelding had jumped a shadow and that he then had difficulty shifting this runner outwards to avoid causing interference to trailing runners.
