Shailer stated that the gelding raced ungenerously at its previous start and hung out, however he attributed that to the tight turning track at Ipswich, adding that the stable would continue on with its preparation. He added that whilst the gelding finished the race off well, he was of the opinion it may have come to the end of its preparation.

He stated rounding the first turn when joined by AUDREE, he was content to allow that mare to improve forward of him as it has a history of hanging out, however it appeared that Miss Fancourt, rider of AUDREE, was reluctant to allow her mount to stride forward. He added after being crossed his mount then dropped the bit and was reluctant to hold its positon, and from that point on he had to continue to pressure the gelding and, in his opinion, was not comfortable in the track conditions and only finished the race off fairly.

He added that after following MALVERN ESTATE he elected to improve to its outside approaching the home turn where he anticipated a run to the inside of STELLA OMBRA, which had a tendency to hang out, and that after obtaining that run he did not apply full pressure as he was attempting to pick the horse up under its big weight in the track conditions. Jockey Browne added that he had ridden the gelding twice before and had come to the outside to allow it to finish off its races.
