Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the seemingly improved performance, trainer T. Sears advised that, in his opinion, the gelding is better suited in races when able to lead and, for that reason, he had instructed jockey M. Cahill to stride forward to obtain this position if possible. He added that the gelding was fitter for its second run over the 1640m today, and based on these factors, he had expected a forward showing from the gelding. Stewards noted the explanation.

Steward Comment

After being caught wide in the early stages, the gelding was allowed to stride forward by its rider to obtain a position outside the leader approaching the 1200m.

Disappointed for a run passing the 100m and, as a result, went to the line without being fully tested.

Tightened for room at the start. Forced wider on the track by another runner near the 900m and, as a result, raced wide for the remainder.
