Chicago  Questioned re: performance - rider stated after begining only fairly rode mare along in effort to obtain forward position however, failed to muster speed and forced to settle further back than expected. Travelled well during early and middle stages and when placed under pressure passing 500m responded well and finished the race off strongly. Rider was of the view that mare is unable to sit and sprint strongly and as such was not suited when forced to race back in the field.  Lismore  4/09/2015

The Lynches  Began awkwardly. Compounded in the home straight. When asked to explain the performance, which was below market expectations, jockey G. Colless explained that he was asked to be positive on the horse today, which after beginning well was able to lead, however once leaving the 600m the horse was under pressure and then commenced to compound in the home straight and was most disappointing. Tnr was at a loss to explain the poor performance. Vetted, no abnormalities. Must trial to stewards' satisfaction.  Ipswich  4/09/2015 
Tricky Jet  Connections advised that it was the intention to have the gelding ridden just of the pace if circumstances permit. Ridden accordingly.  Gold Coast  19/09/2015

Lead Husson  Questioned re: performance - rider state intention to obtain forward position however, shortly after start when it was apparent there would be a strong tempo she elected to settle just worse than midfield. Horse then travelled comfortably in early and middle stages but responded only fairly when urged along leaving 800m and was one paced in the run to the line.

Roubaix  When questioned regarding the horse's performance, apprentice B. Derbyshire stated that as she was going to be trapped three wide shortly after the start and unable to clear runners to her inside, she elected to ease and race behind those horses, however after shifting wider in the straight and asking the gelding to improve, the horse failed to let down as expected and in her opinion was disappointing.
