Began awkwardly. Leaving the 100m, bumped. Rdr dropped whip near the 50m. Rdr reported gelding failed to quicken on straightening and was disappointing. A post-race vet exam revealed no abs.

Steward Comment

Laid in under pressure in the home straight. Obliged to be shift off heels leaving the 200m to obtain clear running. When asked about performance, Rdr reported gelding, which was third-up for the new stable, with blinkers on again, travelled only fairly throughout and round home-turn-added once placed under pressure in the home straight, the gelding finished off the event well.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and shifted out. Raced keen early. Laid in under pressure near the 250m in onto heels, eased and shifted wider. When asked about performance, Tnr reported mare was not suited by the firmer track conditions & would now consider the immediate racing future. A post-race vet exam revealed the mare to be lame in the off-foreleg. Vet cert required prior to racing again.
