Steward's Comments: Rider reported was not suited racing in blinkers for the first time today and had recommended to connections to reapply the winkers to the gelding’s gear. Trainer was at a loss to explain the performance other than the gelding may not have backed up after its most recent start at Cranbourne (10/10/2025). A post-race vet exam did not identify any significant abnormal findings.

Steward's Comments: Rider reported he was instructed to lead on the gelding and after beginning well, and with a lack of early speed shown from other runners, he allowed his mount to stride forward and obtain the lead. Added could offer no explanation for the performance. Post race vets - no abs.

Steward's Comments: Approaching the 300m until passing the 200m had some difficulty obtaining clear running. Approaching the winning post was eased when racing close to heels.
