ALWAYS A PLAYA - hampered by a weakening runner passing the 600m. When questioned regarding the tactics adopted and whether there had been an opportunity to shift outwards near the 700m driver B Butt explained he was reluctant to improve three wide at that stage given the distance remaining. Mr Butt added that ZIP YA LIP which he was trailing, had been maintaining its position and only commenced to weaken approaching the 600m. He further added that by the time this occurred ALWAYS A PLAYA had become covered by the improving MAGNATE resulting in his runner being held up.
