Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and lost ground. Raced keenly during the early and middle stages. Near the 600m laid out when racing in restricted room, steadied and lost ground. Obliged to alter course leaving the 200m to secure clear running. Rdr reported mount resented racing in restricted room near the 600m, became awkward in its action and lost ground. A post-race vet exam revealed a laceration to its off foreleg. Warning placed on gelding for its pre-race manners.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly & shifted out. Commenced to race keenly & checked approaching 1300m. Had difficulty securing clear run early in h/straight. Leaving 200m, disappointed for a run, held up and unable to be fully tested for the remainder. Rdr reported approaching 250m, gave consideration to shift to out, however; a short distance later, felt a run had started to present between runners, which attempted to secure but was then disappointed when both runners shifted ground, then held up & unable to fully test mount. to end of race. Post race vet exam no abs.
