Steward Comment

Restrained at the start to race at the rear of the field and to obtain a position closer to the rail. Held up for clear running near the early part of the home straight and passing the 250m, shifted out and made heavy contact with A BIG CHANCE. As a result, rider A Mallyon had to shift inwards and alter his course to gain clear running.

Steward Comment

Passing the 300m, had to be restrained to avoid the heels of the weakening ASBURY PARK. When questioned regarding the poor performance, rider L Cassidy could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.

Steward Comment

After riding with some vigour early from a wide barrier to take up the lead soon after the start, rider R Stewart was unable to restrain ASBURY PARK, which was racing in blinkers for the first time, and despite his efforts he could not slow the gelding and weakened noticeably as a result soon after straightening. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a poor post-race recovery and signs of mild heat stress.
