Steward Comment

Bumped at the start. Trainer questioned re seemingly improved performance - advised gelding’s third start for stable. Added not disappointed in gelding’s performance at its last start when forced to race 3 wide throughout. As a consequence he was hopeful of a forward showing today.

Slow to begin. Obliged to race extremely wide from 600m onwards. Near 200m bumped and became unbalanced. Rider questioned re performance - stated gelding raced flat today and in his opinion is better suited on rain affected tracks. A swab sample was taken.
