		WINELIGHT - when questioned regarding his decision to take a trail near the 1200m after initially holding the lead, Driver M White advised that, while he was keen to maintain the lead due to the filly's strong performance at her previous start, he was mindful of the work she had been required to do after leading from the wide barrier and being challenged by BESIDE ME down the back straight on the first occasion. Consequently, when he eased the tempo, he felt it was in the filly's best interests to take a trail when GENERAL JEN improved forward near the 1200m, rather than urging his runner forward again. Stewards noted Mr White's comments.

		BESIDE ME - over-raced early stages. Again over-raced for a distance passing the 1600m after being unable to obtain the lead and again for a distance leaving the 900m. WINELIGHT - when questioned regarding his decision to take a trail near the 1200m after initially holding the lead, Driver M White advised that, while he was keen to maintain the lead due to the filly's strong performance at her previous start, he was mindful of the work she had been required to do after leading from the wide barrier and being challenged by BESIDE ME down the back straight on the first occasion. Consequently, when he eased the tempo, he felt it was in the filly's best interests to take a trail when GENERAL JEN improved forward near the 1200m, rather than urging his runner forward again. Stewards noted Mr White's comments.
