Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the horse’s seemingly improved performance, trainer B. Witt stated that he had expected the gelding to perform well at its last start, however it had disappointed. He added that the gelding was subsequently found to have been suffering from a virus and as such was treated and freshened up. He further stated that BALIUS appreciated rain-affected tracks and he believed these factors may have contributed to today’s improved performance.

Began awkwardly. Improved on to heels near the 1350m and had to be restrained and as a result the rider became awkward in the saddle.
