Steward Comment

Trainer explanation re seemingly improved performance - explained in its previous campaign was immature and failed to live up to expectations and was subsequently sent for a spell. Added since resuming current campaign the gelding has matured and pleased in its work including a trial and as such expected a more forward showing in today’s event.
