Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and lost ground. Approaching the 1000m commenced to over race when the pace of the race steadied and shifted wider. Laid in when placed under pressure in the home straight, obliging its rider to stop and correct mount near the 100m.

Leaving the 1000m when the pace of the race slackened, Rdr elected to shift three wide and allowed mount to stride and find a position outside the leader near the 800m.

Steward Comment

Near the 600m was held up and lost ground. When asked about performance, Rdr reported was unable to improve when approaching the 600m when caught behind tiring runner-added gelding was one paced in its finishing effort. A post-race vet exam revealed no abs.
