Fractious in the barriers prior to the start. Held up for clear running in the early part of the home straight. Had to shift outwards across heels leaving the 350m to obtain clear running.

Leaving the 400m, raced in restricted room and had to be steadied when PHEONIX FLYER, which was racing to the outside, shifted inwards and TRICKY BEANS, which was racing to the inside, shifted out when giving ground.

Steward Comment

Shifted outwards under pressure over the final 400m and weakened over the final 300m. Rider Chris Whiteley explained that the gelding failed to travel well and, in his view, raced flat. Trainer Kerrod Smyth advised that he felt the horse had come to an end of its preparation and would be sent for a spell. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any apparent abnormalities.
