When questioned regarding his riding on the Home Turn Z Purton stated that after shifting to the outside of CAN’T GO WONG near the 500 Metres his intention was to follow GOLDEN FORTUNE, a last start winner, or alternatively follow KINGLY DEMEANOR into the race. He said for this reason he continued to shift out with a view to obtaining clear running. He said as he did so CAN’T GO WONG shifted out which presented a run to his inside, however, he was of the opinion his best option was to continue to follow the fancied runners into the race, particularly as the early stages had been run inside of standard time and he was concerned the leaders would commence to give ground. He said after following GOLDEN FORTUNE from the 500 Metres that runner did not improve as he had anticipated and for this reason he shifted to its inside to follow KINGLY DEMEANOR. He said when KINGLY DEMEANOR did not improve sufficiently in the early stages of the Home Straight to provide him with clear running this resulted in STAR BROSE being held up for clear running between the 450 Metres and the 200 Metres where he was able to improve between GOLDEN FORTUNE and KINGLY DEMEANOR.
