BETTER ECLIPSE - held up early and middle stages of the run home. Driver G Sugars was questioned regarding his decision not to shift out to lead up the running line prior to being covered near the 1200m. Mr Sugars advised that the gelding had been off the bit early when chasing from its 20m handicap and felt that remaining on the marker line at this stage was his best option. Stewards noted Mr Sugars' comments.
