HE'S TOUGH - paced roughly passing the 1300m after becoming awkwardly placed close to the sulky wheel of LOVEYOURMOTHER which was racing in the two wide line on its outside. After questioning drivers M Maynard (HE'S TOUGH) and A Edge (LOVEYOURMOTHER) and viewing the films, it was established that the field ahead of these runners had shifted outwards simultaneously to the pace easing and that Mr Edge had maintained his line during this incident until shifting in marginally due to the pace easing. Stewards took the matter no further other than to remind Mr Edge of his obligations to ensure inside runners are not placed in restricted room in similar circumstances.
