Steward Comment

When questioned as to the tactics adopted in leading today’s event, jockey R. Maloney stated that it was never his intention to lead, however, after beginning well he elected to press forward to cross AIMALAC MILLIE, after which the gelding found itself in the lead. Given the tempo in the early and middle stages, he was content to remain in the lead.

Slow to begin. Disappointed for a run to the outside of NOTHING BOX upon straightening and was obliged to shift back in across the heels of two runners to secure clear running over the final 250m.

Overraced in the early stages and had to be steadied from heels near the 800m, and then continued to overrace during the middle stages.
