Driver C Wigg was cautioned and reminded of her obligations to maintain her barrier position despite there being a communication issue with the Starter early in the score up. Miss Wigg was questioned regarding the tactics she adopted in that after restraining to the rear over the early stages she then elected to move forward three wide without cover and raced in that position for the remainder of the journey before weakening to finish in 9th place beaten 5.9 lengths. Miss Wigg stated that it had been her intention to go forward early as A BETTER DANCER is one paced and had performed best when driven on the speed previously, however the gelding had dropped the bit in the score up and raced lethargically over the early stages. She further explained that she had hoped to receive cover racing through the front straight to receive the bell but this did not eventuate and A BETTER DANCER had disappointed when failing to run on over the final stages.
