Began awkwardly and shifted out. Near the 800m, left a midfield trailing position and allowed his mount to stride and reach the lead near the 600m.

Steward Comment

When asked to comment regarding gelding's poor performance, Rdr could offer no explanation. A post-race vet exam revealed no abs. Tnr stated gelding would now be going for a spell. Tnr advised a metropolitan bar would now be placed on the gelding until such time as its form improves.
