Incident Report
When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight Z Purton stated that in the early part of the Home Straight he was held up for clear running behind POCHETTINO. He said when that runner was not improving into the race he then elected to shift to the outside of ISLAND GOLDEN leaving the 350 Metres with a view to improving between ISLAND GOLDEN and THE CONCENTRATION. He said when that run did not fully develop this resulted in ONLY U being held up for clear running between the 350 Metres and the 200 Metres. He added as a result he then shifted back to the inside of ISLAND GOLDEN and POCHETTINO where he secured clear running near the 150 Metres after which his mount then ran on strongly to the finish. Sent for sampling post-race.
