Kicked clear for the easiest of wins after leading 2.2L at Sapphire Coast Mdn over 1000m Soft 7. Appeared to have every chance from the box-seat but didn't finish off, sixth 6.1L at Sapphire Coast Cl1 over 1000m Soft 7. Performs well at this track/distance.

Steward's Comments: Was bumped heavily on jumping by another runner. Over-raced badly for some distance approaching the 800m and became unbalanced. When questioned regarding the performance of, rider advised that following interference at the start, along with her mount’s racing manners in the early stages, the gelding then did not respond to her riding in the straight and proved disappointing. A post-race vet exam of the gelding did not reveal any abnormality.
