Raced wide early before obtaining the lead near the 700m. Laid out on a number of occasions in the home straight and had to be corrected by its rider.

Held up between the 400m and 200m, and near the 100m was disappointed for a run and went to line without being fully tested.

Near the 800m when racing in restricted room had to be steadied. Held up rounding the home turn.

A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to exhibiting a mild cough.

Steward Comment

When asked to comment on the seemingly disappointing performance apprentice K Wilson-Taylor stated the mare travelled well but when placed under pressure failed to respond. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. Co trainer T Edmonds indicated that in light of today’s performance it may be their intention to retire the mare from racing.
