Steward Comment

When asked re tactics, Rdr said instructed to have gelding settle about midfield & if possible, to build momentum into race. When asked as to whether there was an opportunity to improve leaving 800m in advance of outside runner to avoid becoming pocketed, Rdr was of view gelding was not capable of sustaining a wide run from 800m-added then elected to improve inside runners approaching h/turn where was momentarily held up before gaining clear running from 400m. A post-race vet exam revealed no abs.

Slow to begin. Over-raced passing the wining post on the first occasion and was obliged to steady to avoid heels.
