Steward's Comments: Began awkwardly. Retired from the event near the 2000m and failed to negotiate the final five obstacles. Rider reported the gelding jumped well in the early stages, however, did not feel comfortable in its action in the left fore and for this reason he elected to retire his mount near the 2000m. An initial vet exam of the horse on the track revealed the gelding to be awkward in its action, however a further post race vet exam revealed no abs. Follow up: Pulled up well and likely spell.

Steward's Comments: COT - To be ridden further back - Settled worse than midfield. Rdr said in his view mount may appreciate being ridden further forward. Post race vet exam revealed no abs.

Steward's Comments: Slow to begin. R - reported he had been inst to ride the gelding in a handy position, however, after being slow to begin and failing to muster in the early stages he settled at the rear of the field with cover. J Mott stated near the 2000m the gelding commenced to race keenly where, rather than attempt to restrain Right Now, he allowed the gelding to shift out to improve around the field where it travelled comfortably before settling outside the leader near the 1500m. Hung in runer pressure.

Steward's Comments: Beaten favourite. ($1.55). Rdr std mount raced keenly in mid stgs when challenged for lead earlier than he would have liked. Std mare made an abnormal respiratory noise near the 600m & for this reason he did not place it under full pressure until necessary, when a rnr made ground to outside. Added when placed under pressure approaching 200m mare failed to respond as hoped. Post-race vet exam – slower than expected recovery & abnormal breathing noise. A veterinary clearance, with satisfactory results of endo.

Steward's Comments: Near 3000m eased off heels. Raced wide without cover throughout. Rider reported intention to ride with cover however was unable obtain cover early with his mount racing keenly. Gave thought to striding forward but was mindful has not performed well when ridden forward previously and elected to remain wide where it settled mid race and travelled well before failing to respond when put under pressure.
