Steward Comment

Over-raced early. Forced wide early & raced wide for majority. Taken wider leaving the 800m. When quest, Rdr stated instruct to settle towards rear & if possible, come with one run-said in early part of race, bumped on several occasions near 1400m, & again near 1200m-further said when pace slackened, was carried wider-added gelding did not appreciate being buffeted again, and when attempting to restrain for cover, over-raced, making it difficult. Leaving 800m, again taken wider, adding not suited by tempo or being buffeted in running, which affected finishing effort. PRVX no abs.
