Steward Comment

Began awkwardly. Trainer B. Robinson was questioned regarding the improved performance of the gelding. He stated that, in his opinion, the horse does not appreciate racing on soft tracks, which it raced on at its last start, and after being trapped wide on the soft track weakened over the concluding stages. He noted 3 runs back at Lismore the horse failed on a soft track and between those 2 runs had raced competitively when racing on a good track, and that this was the basis of which he expected an improved performance today with the track being rated a Good 3. Mr Robinson added that he doe

Change of tactics. Trainer D. Forster advised stewards that from the wide barrier and blinkers on first time, the instructions were for the gelding to be ridden in a more forward position today. The horse subsequently raced just off the speed

Change of tactics. Connections advised that the gelding would be ridden in a more forward position today. Slow to begin. Jockey M. Hellyer reported he was unable to race more forward from the wide alley as the horse did not muster the necessary speed and settled towards the rear of the field. Raced greenly in the home straight when under pressure

Steward Comment

Slow to begin. Apprentice H. English reported at scale that her mount raced greenly throughout the event. When questioned regarding the tactics adopted, apprentice H. English stated that she was given no specific instructions, adding the gelding was having its first start over 1400m. She stated it began only fairly and she elected to take up a position at the rear of the field.

Steward Comment

Slow to begin. Near the 400m, after being brushed by Sagajet, shifted in marginally and clipped heels and blundered. Raced wide without cover throughout and tired over the concluding stages. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. Trainer J. Walk was advised that the gelding’s nomination would be refused at TAB venues until its form improves at non TAB venues
