BUBBLE ME - hampered by a weakening runner near the 500m. Stewards questioned driver K Green regarding the tactics she adopted through the middle stages, in particular near the 800m when electing to remain in the running line as opposed to shifting out and progressing forward. Miss Green advised that the filly was not travelling well enough to progress into the race without cover and so she elected to retain her position and wait to trail another runner forward, however the filly then failed to finish the race off as she expected and had proved disappointing. Stewards noted the comments.

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.
