Steward Comment

Shortly after the start was hampered when tightened for room. Leaving the 1200m lost ground when eased to avoid the heels of SHOW EM which shifted in when over-racing at the heels of SHORELINE. At a subsequent inquiry Stewards were unable to identify any carelessness on behalf of any one rider. Hung out rounding the home turn.

Steward Comment

Upon returning to scale Jockey M McGillivray reported that from the awkward barrier he was obliged to pressure the gelding in the early stages to obtain a position closer to the fence which resulted in him racing further forward than anticipated. As a consequence, the gelding then over-raced during the middle stages and when racing close to the heels of DENBERN passing the 600m, he was obliged to shift out to improve earlier than he otherwise would have liked.

Steward Comment

Leaving the 1000m was steadied when awkwardly placed at the heels of COURTZA KING. Approaching the 500m had to be steadied from the heels of MISHANI SLEUTH. Over-raced for the majority of the event. Upon straightening had to alter course to avoid the heels of MARTINELLI which was weakening.

Steward Comment

When questioned as to the performance, App. Q Krogh stated that the gelding failed to begin as expected and he was obliged to pressure it in the early stages to obtain its customary forward position. App. Krogh added that the gelding failed to improve when placed under pressure leaving the 600m and in his opinion was disappointing.
