Steward Comment

Raced greenly in the home straight. When questioned regarding the seemingly improved performance in today’s event, Trainer A. Jenkinson stated that at its most recent start, the gelding drew a wide barrier and raced wide from the 700m that day. Whilst somewhat surprised in how THE LAST SAGA handled the heavy track conditions so well today, Trainer Jenkinson further stated that he was still expecting an improved performance from its last start in Mackay and was pleased with the performance of the gelding.

Steward Comment

Tightened on jumping. When questioned regarding the improved performance in today’s event, Trainer S. Rundle advised stewards that this is WHATJEUDOIN’ second preparation and had previously raced well third up. Trainer Rundle further added that the appointment of an apprentice with their claim, the drop back in distance and a minor drop in grade attributed to today’s performance. Stewards noted Trainer Rundle’s explanation.

Steward Comment

Laid in when placed under pressure in the home straight. When questioned regarding today’s performance, Apprentice Y. Lewis stated that her mount only handled the wet track conditions fairly today and during the home straight, she was unable to gather any momentum on the mare as AZURE DE LAGO was consistently laying in down the home straight.
