Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the performance rider E Lang advised the horse travelled comfortably during the event however when placed under pressure in the home straight weakened over the concluding stages, adding that MERSEYSIDE may not have run out a strong 1600m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the horse to be suffering from heat stress.

Slow to begin. Near the 1400m, when over-racing, obliged to steady from the heels of MERSEYSIDE.

Steward Comment

Change of tactics, from the wide barrier to be ridden with cover if circumstances permit. After beginning well and being caught wide, was permitted to stride forward and race outside the leader from the 1200m.
