He said as a result entering the Back Straight he elected to shift in behind the 6th placegetter to trail that runner with cover. He said approaching the 700M he observed the 8th placegetter commence a forward move and as a result he attempted to shift to the outside of the 6th placegetter to obtain a position one-off.
