Steward's Comments: Slow to begin. Rider reported that the colt, which was having its 2nd race start, raced greenly. When questioned re riding in straight, in particular the reasons he shifted to the inside of runners, rider stated he contemplated shifting wider to improve, however as colt was racing greenly & not travelling well he elected to shift to the inside of heels and was able to obtain an unimpeded run, where colt finished its race off well. Further added that the colt would benefit from continuing to step up in dista.

Steward's Comments: Rdr reported that from the wide barrier he was instructed to ride the gelding back in the field. He added that with the strong early tempo of the event, gelding in his opinion was not feeling comfortable racing down the hill from 800m and got further back through the middle stages than he would have liked before finishing the race off well. Post-race vet exam no abs.

Steward's Comments: Raced three wide without cover in the early stages, before striding forward to obtain the lead near the 900m. Rider reported instructed to ride with cover, however, when caught wide and with moderate tempo allowed to stride forward and lead. Rider added laid out in straight and appreciate tracks with more give.
