| 1 | 59.0kg | 0.40 | 800m: 9th 400m: 7th | Slow to begin. When questioned, jockey A. Sewell explained that it was always his intention to allow the horse to settle in a rearward position as instructed and he would have preferred to have improved into the race prior to the home turn, however as runners ahead of him were racing wide on the track, he elected to wait until the home straight to allow the horse to shift wider in an attempt to finish the race off. He added that he was satisfied with the horse’s finishing performance and felt that it may be better suited on a bigger track. | $3.30 | |||
