SHARDS MATRIX - driver S O'Reilly advised she did not activate the removable deafeners due to having the field covered. Stewards questioned Miss O'Reilly regarding the tactics she adopted in the early and middle stages. Miss O'Reilly explained that after improving to the lead around the first bend it had been her intention to remain in that position however, after being challenged by an outside runner approaching the 2000m, she elected to restrain to trail. Miss O'Reilly added that shortly after BETTOR BE SHARP, which was racing behind her runner, had shifted away from the marker line and improved its position to the lead so she felt her best option was to shift away from her position three back on the marker line as her horse was racing keenly and she did not want to be covered by outside horses in the running line. Miss O'Reilly further added that once shifting to the parked position near the 1800m the gelding had commenced to over-race so she elected to progress forward to regain the lead. After considering her explanation Stewards noted Miss O'Reilly's comments.
