Rdr std after trailing rnr into the str he was content to cont to follow this rnr & endeavour to impr his pos approx three wide away from rail. He said when walking the track he formed the view that the ground closest to rail was inferior & where he made his run was similar in nature to the going out wider.

When questioned, rider reported that he had intended to settle midfield from the wide barrier.
