Steward Comment

Laid in over the concluding stages. When questioned by Stewards in relation to the gelding’s seemingly improved performance, the trainer’s representative advised that, in his opinion, the horse’s form had been good prior to its last start at the Sunshine Cost on 28 July 2019 and, following its disappointing performance on that occasion, the stable had elected to send the horse for a spell. He went on to say that the gelding had been working well and jumped out well in the lead up to today’s race and, in his opinion, had benefitted from the inside barrier today.

Steward Comment

When questioned by Stewards in relation to the below market expectation performance, jockey R. Goltz advised that, immediately after jumping, the mare was reluctant to stretch out and, in his opinion, was not suited by the firm track today. A post-race veterinary examination of the mare revealed no apparent abnormalities.
