DELTA KILO - when questioned regarding his decision to shift away from the leader FRANCO HOFFMAN's back near the 200m Driver W House stated that DELTA KILO had been causing him some difficulty when laying in so he felt it was a better option to shift out on to the back of the improving BLUE CHIP LOU rather than risk contacting the sulky wheel of FRANCO HOFFMAN that appeared to be under pressure. Mr House added that with hindsight he may have been better served to have looked to regain the lead midrace.

When questioned regarding the performance driver B Butt advised the gelding had worked hard in the early stages and raced greenly passing the 1200m when attempting to improve to the lead resulting in the horse having to race parked with the effort taking its toll. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a slow recovery.
