NEVERTHELESS

Jumped outwards at the start, bumping runner, thereby losing ground.

When questioned as to the reason HAKUNA MATATA had led, Trainer BT Lim advised that he had instructed that the gelding be ridden wherever comfortable and did not foresee it being in a leading division, given that this was his first start over the 1600M.  However, given the slow nature of the pace, he was dissatisfied in the manner which App A Suriya had ridden the gelding.

App A Suriya concurred with these instructions and stated that he had wished to ride in a mid-race position, however, HAKUNA MATATA had simply rolled forward into a lead position easily and he had been content to sit outside the leader. The Stewards accepted their explanations.
