TECTONIC - when questioned regarding the performance driver S O'Reilly advised the gelding had worked hard through the early and middle stages when having to chase the field after starting from its 20 metre handicap. Miss O'Reilly added after being forced to race three wide by an inside runner passing the 1000m she had been required to improve wide on the track to reach the parked position with the effort taking its toll. Trainer P Nairn advised he would give consideration to reducing the gelding's workload between races in future.
