COMMANDER BEN - broke briefly at the start. Held up final bend. Stewards questioned driver S Tomlinson regarding her decision not to shift outwards near the 1200m to lead the one wide line when an opportunity existed. Miss Tomlinson advised the gelding races best with cover and she was reluctant to shift outwards at this stage to race in the parked position. After hearing from Miss Tomlinson, Stewards noted her comments.
