Steward Comment

After beginning well, the gelding obtained a forward position without being overly pressured and then commenced to race keenly and, as a result, settled further forward than anticipated. When questioned by Stewards regarding the seemingly improved performance, Trainer M. Boland advised that, in his opinion, the gelding was suited to the step up in distance from 1000m to 1300m today. He added that the gelding has been a slow maturing horse and, as a result, derived significant benefit from its recent racing experience.

Shifted out abruptly in the home straight to secure clear running. Apprentice M. Wishart was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances in the future.

Steward Comment

Laid in under pressure in the home straight. Whilst being restrained to avoid heels near the 700m, the gelding commenced to lay in for a number of strides despite the efforts of its rider resulting in DOMINANT WITNESS, which was racing to its inside, being forced to race in restricted room. Apprentice B. Nothdurft advised that the gelding improved into the race from a rearward position from the 500m, however in the home straight it failed to run on as he had expected and, in his opinion, proved disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding revealed no apparent abnormalities.
