When asked to comment re improved performance, Tnr stated gelding had been pleasing in its work leading into race and the racing conditions had been ideal-added gelding is better when allowed to settle towards the rear of the field

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly. Rdr reported intention to settle further forward, however after beginning awkwardly, allowed gelding to settle back in the field-added approaching the 600m, whilst over racing, elected to shift wide without cover, in an attempt to settle the gelding.

Slow to begin. Laid out under pressure in the home straight. Rdr reported after being slow away, mount was tardy in the early and middle stages and was unable to make ground in the field over the concluding stages.
