Began awkwardly and shifted in. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be exhibiting the thumps.

Steward Comment

Change of tactics, from a wide barrier to attempt to be ridden with cover. Shortly after jumping, raced in restricted room. Near the 300m was steadied when NUMBERS GAME shifted out. Apprentice A Jones the rider of NUMBERS GAME was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. Jockey L Dittman could offer no comment for the below market expectations performance of the filly. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
