Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the apparent improved performance, trainer advised the horse was not suited by the sand track conditions at its most recent start at Wondai on 25th April 2023. He added the horse had worked well since and was also suited by the step up to 1400m today. Stewards noted the explanation.

Steward Comment

Underwent a pre-race veterinary examination after contacting the running rail when leaving the mounting yard and passed fit to start. Rider reported he desisted from pressuring his mount in the home straight, in his opinion, did not feel entirely comfortable in its action after being placed under pressure from the 600m.
