She Tells Lies When questioned regarding the tactics adopted between the 300m and 100m, rider M Paget stated he was given firm instructions to shift outwards at the top of the home straight in an endeavour to secure a clear passage in his run to the line. M Paget said rounding the home turn he was racing in a position inside the heels of Cash Spinner, in which he anticipated improving into a position where he would be able to carry that runner wider and obtain clear running. M Paget explained on straightening he rode forward with the intention of improving wider with Cash Spinner, however passing the 300m when attempting to improve between that runner and Right Roam, which shifted out in search of clear running, he was forced to restrain his mount for some distance when attempting to obtain a run where there was insufficient room for racing. M Paget added approaching the 100m he elected to shift inwards to continue forward, before being again held up for clear running over the concluding stages. M Paget said that in hindsight he should not have been persistent on attempting to obtain a run between Right to Roam and Cash Spinner, when there was the option for him to shift to the inside of Right to Roam into a position where a clear run eventuates.

Rider T Treichel stated he was instructed to ride his mount out the gates, as the mare has a tendency of being tardy to begin with the intention of settling in handy to midfield position. T Treichel explained after his mount began reasonably well from a wide barrier draw, he rode forward with vigour to eventually take up the lead to avoid being caught wide without cover, where his mount travelled comfortably in a prominent position. Trainer Mr S Randall confirmed instructions and explained he was surprised to see the mare lead the event. Trainer Mr S Randall was reprimanded for failing to report a change of tactics (AR135A).
