Steward Comment

Began awkwardly. When questioned re performance, Tnr’s Rep advised mare appreciated the softer track conditions on this occasion, and had experienced somewhat unfavourable runs in its most recent starts, adding further that stable had expected a more forward showing on this occasion. Explanation noted.

Began awkwardly. Laid out for some distance passing the 800m. Blundered passing the 400m and became unbalanced. Approaching the 50m, improved into a marginal run before being obliged to steady and bumping when racing in restricted room.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly. Raced wide and without cover for a majority of the event. When questioned re performance, Rdr stated gelding had travelled reasonably throughout the event, however was somewhat disappointed with the overall performance. Tnr advised intended on experimenting with gelding’s gear, including the addition of a tongue-tie. A post-race vet exam revealed no significant abs.
