Restrained from a wide barrier to obtain a rearward trailing position. When racing wide passing the 700m, steadied and shifted back to the inside in a view to obtain clear run, but then was held up until the 300m where the gelding became awkwardly placed at heels after being taken out. Thereafter had some difficulty obtaining a clear run until passing the 100m.

Rdr reported gelding was not suited to the soft track conditions. A post-race vet exam revealed a slow recovery.
