BOLD TEMPTATION- Trainer R Hay was questioned in relation to the disappointing performance. Mr Hay advised that last start the gelding stepped up sharply in distance to 1850m, which was to its advantage as the horse is very one paced. He added that whilst this race was over 1640m, the gelding was unable to sprint with the other runners from the 500m and was left flat-footed. Mr Hay went onto say that he will endeavour to place the gelding in a race over approximately 2000m, race programming permitting, at its next start where he expects a more forward showing.

BOJOURA- Raced wide from the 800m.
