He added that he felt the pace was fairly quick from the 1200 metres which may have taken a toll on his runner.

He added she is racing in reasonably strong races with her rating and the stable has been using concessional Driver claims in an attempt to enable her to compete in slightly lower grade recently however tonight they hadn’t needed to, to get into this race.

Connections were advised it would be required to perform a re-qualifying trial. Driver J Wade was questioned regarding him raising his hand when the filly broke gait during the score-up to indicate to the starter that he had a gear issue and he required a false start to be activated. He stated that he felt the straps on the filly’s bridle had come loose and that had resulted in the filly breaking gait.
