He further stated that he had recommended to connections that AEROINVINCIBLE may be better suited by being dropped back in distance for its next race start where it will be provided with the opportunity to settle with a more genuine pace. Trainer P C Ng stated that although the hood had been removed from the horse today, he believed its racing manners were due to it racing first up when being fresh. He said having regard to Jockey Purton’s comments, he would now look to drop AEROINVINCIBLE back in distance for its next race start. Sent for sampling post-race.

He said throughout the middle stages of the event AMAZING FUN was disadvantaged when positioned behind SONIC BOOM because of his mount not being able to improve into the event. He added however in the Home Straight AMAZING FUN did not respond to his riding.

He said when CARROLL STREET did not quicken as he had anticipated and shifted in slightly near the 400 Metres, he then improved to that runner’s outside whereby he was able to place FLYING HIGH under pressure approaching the 300 Metres at which point it commenced to finish the race off well.
