Steward Comment

Very slow to begin. Trainer D Groves was of the opinion that the mare may be resenting the cross over noseband and it would be his likely intention to remove that gear prior to next start with the expectation that it will begin better in the future. Held up approaching the home turn.

Steward Comment

Momentarily held up approaching the home turn at the heels of the tiring I’M HITCHIN’ BRO, before shifting nearer the rail to secure clear running. When asked to comment on the performance, jockey J Byrne said the mare never travelled throughout and when placed under pressure, failed to respond to his riding and proved disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
