Laid in under pressure from the 150m. Jockey B. Thompson reported that in his opinion the gelding may not have appreciated today’s racing conditions.

Raced wide until approaching the 1000m. Approaching the 200m, was obliged to shift outwards to secure clear running and had a tendency to lay in.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and lost ground. Raced fiercely in the early and middle stages and proved difficult to settle. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities. Stewards will follow up with the Waller stable regarding the filly’s performance.
