Sat on the pace and loomed as a danger but could only fight on 3L at Doomben Cl5 over 1350m. Nice ride to sit poised to bounce on the leaders but could only trail into third 2.2L at Aquis Park Gold Coast Bm65 over 1300m.

Steward's Comments: When quest re vigour app stated mount has a short sprint & has performed best when kept on bridle for as long as possible before being asked to sprint. App stated she was inst to ride mount in that manner today, particularly as it was attempting 1200m of which it is suspect. App stated on straightening she encouraged mount along whilst on bridle by slapping down shoulder before placing it under full pressure app 200m. App stated mount found line well ridden in this manner. Stewards review of gelds previous .
