When questioned regarding his riding in the early part of the Home Straight and the reason he elected to shift out, rider stated that due to the early pace of the event being run inside of standard time, he was concerned that had he remained racing to the inside of a runner, he may have experienced difficulty obtaining clear running due to another runner giving ground. He said for that reason he elected to come to the outside of the aforementioned runner as he felt that runner would provide him with the opportunity to improve into the event - Race 560.
