To this end, he attempted to restrain his mount to take a position behind CONFLIGHT (S Anandan) on his inside but NOVA FALCON commenced to over-race and as a consequence, he was trapped wide with no cover. Jockey S Ruzaini added that this placed his mount at a considerable disadvantage, in a strong field today.
