Steward's Comments: Raced keenly in the early and middle stages and raced wide without cover. Laid in under pressure in the straight. R: intention to ride the gelding with cover in order to be finishing the race off strongly. Explained after beginning well, restrained in an attempt to have mount settle, however Brazenga raced erratically and was inclined to shift out and away from the field.
