Steward Comment

Rider questioned tactics middle stages after relinquishing position outside of SWEET SHAMROCK - stated from wide barrier content to restrain to obtain position outside SWEET SHAMROCK towards rear of field. Added approaching 700m obliged to steady from heels of PURE WHISPER and lost ground. At the same time SWEET SHAMROCK commenced to improve on the back of the eventual winner DUSTMAN and elected to follow these runners into race. Had difficulty obtaining clear running passing 200m and noted gelding first up today and would be better suited over 1400m. Explanation noted.

Slow to begin. A short distance later was hampered when tightened for room between runners. Held up in early stages of the home straight. Vetted - revealed gelding sustained laceration to the near fore cannon.
