VENETO - raced three wide early before being restrained to the rear near the 1800m. Driver N Munro was questioned regarding his tactics over the final 500m. Mr Munro stated that his near side sulky tyre had punctured near the 600m so he elected to attempt gain a break on the field as he was concerned that the tyre and tube may come off the rim, placing him at a disadvantage, however his mare had peaked on its run inside the 100m and for that reason he had elected not to turn his whip given that he felt VENETO was giving of its best. Mr Munro's explanation was accepted.
