Steward Comment

When questioned Jockey attributed the below market expectations performance of the gelding to the fact that his mount was inclined to pull hard throughout the early and middle stages and consequently was left without a finishing effort.

Began very awkwardly with its head up, resulting in its rider becoming unbalanced in the saddle and losing considerable ground.

Rounding the turn near the 900 metres improved onto heels and had to be steadied, then was inclined to race ungenerously for some distance thereafter.
