Explanation of Jockey P. Ajeeth Kumar (BRAHMANI) that in order to follow the instructions of positioning his mount close with front runners, he was forced to use the filly in the initial stages of the race due to fast initial pace resulting in the filly shortened her strides and had nothing to offer in the final stages of the race inspite of his best efforts.  Trainer Anupam Sharma while confirming the above added that the filly has been running consistently throughout the season except the present engagement and this is due to the fast initial pace was noted for future reference. Jockey P. Ajeeth Kumar was however cautioned for traveling wide while negotiating the final bend for no apparent reason.
