When questioned regarding his driving tactics Junior Driver S Iremonger, assisted by J Dickie, explained that he had been instructed by connections to look to go forward to take up a handy position as the gelding was one paced however after initially working forward he had then been caught wide so elected to restrain when unable to secure a position in the one out running line. Mr Iremonger further stated that he felt the pace eased passing the 1600m so he attempted to improve forward but had then been obliged to race three wide without cover for the remainder after the pace quickened.
