Steward Comment

Laid out under pressure over the concluding stages. When questioned regarding the horses seemingly improved performance, trainer D. Duryea stated that at its last start the gelding had become fractious in the barriers and lost significant ground at the start. She added that along with a spell and gear changes the gelding had improved its barrier manners after competing in two trials and as a result she expected a forward showing today.

Had to be eased from the heels of PUNKENSTEIN near the 1000m when that runner shifted in. Raced three wide without cover throughout.
