RAKNRUIN - hampered by a breaking runner racing into the first bend. Over-raced early and middle stages. Held up in the run home with driver B Barclay reporting he did not activate the removable deafeners in consequence. Stewards questioned Mr Barclay regarding the tactics he adopted, in particular his decision to shift inwards near the 300m resulting in his runner being held up for clear racing room. Mr Barclay explained that when he attempted to shift wider rounding the final bend the filly had locked on the outside rein causing him difficulty, adding he was reluctant to persist due to the filly breaking in similar circumstances in previous starts. Stewards noted Mr Barclay's comments.
