When questioned if there was an opportunity to go forward and cross a runner having regard to the middle stages being run outside of standard time rider stated that she was reluctant to urge her mount forward as she did not feel it was travelling well enough and that when she realised she was not able to get cover it was getting close to the field turning out of the Back Straight - Race 694.
