Steward Comment

Over raced early. Held up for clear running on entering the home straight before being disappointed for a run in the early stages of the home straight. When asked about performance, Rdr stated when the pace slackened, gelding raced keenly and was disappointing in its effort in the home straight. A post race vet exam revealed no abs.

Steward Comment

Over raced during the early stages. Rdr reported gelding travelled too keen outside leader with the addition of blinkers, which may have had a detrimental effect on its finishing effort. Tnr reported would consider a gear change and it was intention to continue with its current preparation.
