Steward Comment

Rider questioned re tactics adopted on mare, which settled towards rear in contrast to most recent starts - explained no specific instructions and after travelling a short distance was unable to muster speed and as a result settled at rear of field. Trainer stated surprised gelding unable to muster speed from barrier and attributed this to mare having blinkers removed today. Added will consider removing cross over nose band,

Rider asked to explain disappointing performance - stated she rode the gelding with cover and when she applied pressure in home straight it did not respond to her riding.
