SENSITIVE TO A SMILE - slow to begin. Stewards questioned trainer M Jones regarding the performance of the filly after it raced below market expectations.

He further explained that the filly had not contested any trials in preparation for today's race and taking those factors into account, he was not disappointed with the performance and considered that the filly had raced in line with his expectations.
