CARRERA BRAVO - shifted inwards after improving into the passing lane in the run home when driver S O'Reilly activated gear before being corrected. Miss O'Reilly was spoken to advisedly regarding this.

Eased,8th otr,wdst rear top,bt slws

CARRERA BRAVO - when questioned regarding the performance, driver S O'Reilly advised that the gelding had been unsuited by the slow tempo and was unable to make ground when the pace increased significantly over the final 400 metres. Miss O'Reilly was further questioned as to why she had not elected to improve through the middle stages, given her assessment that the race was being run at a slow tempo. She explained that her instructions from co-trainer B White had been to restrain from the outside barrier and obtain cover before being presented for a run into the race however, this did not eventuate resulting in the gelding being caught flat-footed over the concluding stages when the pace quickened considerably. Stewards questioned Mr White regarding Miss O'Reilly's explanation. He confirmed that these were the instructions issued but acknowledged that, given the sedate tempo, it would have been beneficial for Miss O'Reilly to improve CARRERA BRAVO during the middle stages. He added that, when drawn toward the outside of the mobile in future, his intention would be to continue to instruct the driver to restrain during the early stages and seek a position with cover. After considering the explanations provided by Miss O'Reilly and Mr White, reviewing the betting information supplied by the Betting Analyst, and taking into account their own observations, Stewards advised Miss O'Reilly that better tactical judgement would be expected in similar circumstances in future.

When questioned regarding the performance, co-trainer T White advised he was disappointed with the gelding's effort .Mr White explained that the gelding was having its first race start following a considerable spell from racing and, in his opinion, would derive significant benefit in terms of fitness from tonight's outing. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities.
