Steward Comment

From the 500m shifted out to improve however was unable to when rider M Cahill kept his racing line. Had to be steadied from heels a short distance later. Jockey M Powell advised stewards that he had anticipated racing in a more forward position however the gelding failed to muster sufficient speed at the start which resulted in him settling further back in the field. He added that he was held up rounding the home turn however was happy with the horse’s performance and how it finished the race off.

Raced keenly early stages. Approaching the 500m improved onto heels and had to be steadied. Held up rounding the home turn until approaching the 300m.

Shifted in on jumping. Laid out approaching the 500m. Raced keenly in the early stages. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be lame in the off hind.
