Steward Comment

Held up rounding home turn. Rider questioned re tactics - explained when gelding has raced over longer distances has previously settled closer to the speed. Added that today over 1200m was always going to settle further back as the gelding is unable to muster the necessary speed to obtain a forward position. Stewards noted his comments.

Near 600m checked after improving onto heels. Over the concluding stages checked when tightened for room between JOMARS ELEMENT and HAPPY GO LUCKY, both of which shifted ground.
