However, the pace slowed at halfway, causing the field to compact and no opportunity to make progress presented itself at any time in the middle stages. Jockey HS Gill further informed the Stewards that he had been denied a run on the heels of SEA WORLD between the 600M and the 400M and thereafter was forced to switch outwards to obtain clear running, and to ease his horse carefully into the gap between SUNNY and TIGER BAY approaching the 200M, by which time the winner had got away from him.
