  • Stipe Comment: When over-racing was steadied outwards off the heels of the runner in front passing the 1200 metres. Held up passing the 350 metres and was then inclined to lay outwards under pressure, being reluctant to improve into a tight run, then having to be checked just short of the finish when becoming awkwardly placed near the heels.
