SECRET AGENT MAN - held up by a weakening runner final bend. Again held up in the middle stages of the run home. Stewards questioned driver N Williamson regarding his decision to shift wider on the track passing the 150m when clearance existed in the passing lane. Mr Williamson explained he was aware driver M Williamson (COMMANDER BEN) had only commenced to shift inwards near the 150m and he believed he would be blocked for clear racing room if he had continued with an attempt to gain a run in the passing lane. Mr Williamson added he then decided to shift outwards and had finished strongly once gaining clear running inside the final 100m. After considering his explanation and viewing the replays Stewards were satisfied his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.

RADHA - out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver J Dunn. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Stewards questioned Mr Dunn regarding the tactics he adopted during the running. Mr Dunn explained the gelding had raced greenly through the early stages and paced roughly losing ground resulting in him having to chase to catch the body of the field near the 1000m. Mr Dunn added the horse was racing up in grade and he was reluctant to improve his position in the middle stages after having to work hard early to obtain cover. Mr Dunn further added that when improving on the final bend he had been forced to race very wide on the track however was pleased with the gelding's effort given the fast overall time.
