MACCAS NZ (D Egerton-Green) – When interviewed regarding the unplaced performance Driver D Egerton-Green advised the gelding was not suited when having to work hard in the early stages before crossing to race outside the leader racing out of the back straight on the first occasion, this being detrimental to its finishing position.
RESOLUTION (W Price) – Driver W Price was interviewed in relation to his driving of the gelding in pressuring the leader YANKIE KEV (S Suvaljko) in the early stages before crossing to the lead racing off the back straight on the first occasion with the gelding then finishing unplaced, beaten 9 metres. Driver W Price advised the gelding was best suited when leading and was of the opinion had he not crossed to the lead he would have been forced to race without cover as MACCAS NZ (D Egerton-Green) which had been driven forward in the 3 wide line would have crossed to the leading position.
