Carry Forward  Slow to begin. Raced 3 wide without cover throughout. Questioned re tactics - rider stated gelding usually settles in forward position and after being slow to begin allowed gelding to stride forward in the back straight in an attempt to settle outside the leader.

Water Boy (NZ)  Raced 3 wide without cover throughout. Weakened in the home straight. Disappointing performance - jockey stated despite being obliged to race 3 wide without cover throughout the gelding's performance was disappointing. Added early stages he attempted to press forward to obtain a position outside of the leader however, the gelding failed to respond which resulted in him being obliged to race 3 wide and was of view gelding may have come to end of current preparation. Trainer's rep disappointment in performance will wait how it recovers before making decision on current prep. Vetted - no abs  Ipswich  15/07/2015
