Unable to secure clear running at any stage in the home straight. When questioned regarding the tactics employed on CHARLIES ACE NZ from the 500 metres, Driver R Morris explained with the benefit of hindsight he had erred by shifting in approaching the 400 metres, however at the time he made the decision the runners around him appeared to be under pressure and he was hopeful he would be able to save ground and improve underneath EYEKNOW and then shift that runner wider. However, that runner maintained its position better than expected which negated his initial plan. R Morris’s explanation was noted.
