SyntheticDetails | Barrier | Wgt | Margin | Time | Progression | Steward comment | Starting price | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
5 | 57.0kg | - | 1-57.71 | 800m: 1st 400m: 1st | - | $4 | ||
3 | 59.0kg | 11.80 | 1-59.74 | 800m: 4th 400m: 2nd | Laid in under pressure in the home straight. Raced wide for the majority. | $6 | ||
8 | 58.0kg | 14.60 | 2-00.24 | 800m: 2nd 400m: 3rd | Caught wide early and was permitted to stride to take up a position outside the leader leaving the 1200m. | $26 | ||
2 | 61.5kg | 15.10 | 2-00.33 | 800m: 9th 400m: 8th | Held up from the 400m until the 300m. When questioned re ride, in particular between the 600m and 300m, Rdr said instructs were to be in a forward position, however, gelding failed to muster early speed, so elected to settle at the rear-added near the 500m, elected to ride for luck and stay on the fence instead of being forced to a wide position round h/turn. After viewing the films, Rdr conceded should have placed gelding under more pressure from 600m to be in a more competitive spot & could have shifted to a one-off position near the 500m, which would have afforded clear run round h/turn. | $10 | ||
4 | 60.5kg | 19.10 | 2-01.03 | 800m: 3rd 400m: 4th | Began awkwardly. | $6 | ||
1 | 58.5kg | 21.40 | 2-01.42 | 800m: 5th 400m: 5th | Approaching the first turn, commenced to race keenly and laid out. | $31 | ||
6 | 58.0kg | 21.50 | 2-01.42 | 800m: 6th 400m: 6th | Rdr could over no excuse for the disappointing performance. | $5.50 | ||
7 | 62.0kg | 30.50 | 2-02.99 | 800m: 7th 400m: 7th | Approaching the 1000m, improved onto heels & steadied. When asked about performance, Rdr stated with blinkers back on, gelding raced keenly and may be better suited to shorter distances. A post-race vet exam revealed no abs. | $3.60 | ||
9 | 54.0kg | 35.30 | 2-03.81 | 800m: 8th 400m: 9th | - | $81 | ||
