Slow to begin. Shifted wider to improve passing the 900m.

Steward Comment

Over-raced when the pace slackened during the early stages, became awkward at heels passing the 1600m, before shifting wider near the 1500m to improve to the position outside the leader passing the 1300m. Rider S Collett was asked to explain the horses’ performance from the 1000m, she explained that when the pace quickened from the 800m her mount was left flatfooted and did not quicken until entering the home straight. Miss Collett further added that the gelding would have been more suited to a race with a more genuine tempo during the early stages.

Held up when unable to improve from the 700m until passing the 500m.

Steward Comment

K Wilson Taylor reported to stewards that he horse was left flatfooted when the pace quickened from the 900m, he added that he had given consideration to improving forward from the 1000m and in hindsight was of the opinion that this would have been beneficial to the horses chances. Post-race vet examination revealed no significant abnormalities.

Steward Comment

Hung out from the 500m onwards placing the rider at a disadvantage.
