Robert Hickmott is interviewed pre-race at Ballarat where he has Our August Road in.

Racing.com: She's drawn badly but that might not be too bad given the way the track's playing.  How do you see her in the run?"

Hickmott: "we'll probably look to settle midfield, ideally with cover, and hopefully finish on"

So the jockey fairly fires the mare out of the boxes to lead and subsequently win convincingly.  Shocked  Wink

However I noted the Racenet comment on her previous win at Kilmore:
"Box seat (keen). Dream inside run taking over t as others drifted wide."
She'd ridden the mare twice previously & in work so must've had the corage of her convictions once she jumped so well.
I know what you're saying but especially in racing, "The best laid plans................" LOL
