held up in rear, pushed along and some headway after 3 out, not clear run before 2 out, soon no impression (enq held into the running and riding of the mare, which was held up in the rear of the field before given a hands and heels ride in the straight, to finish ninth of sixteen runners, beaten 26 3/4 lengths. Vet reported that the mare had minor lacerations to both hind legs and the mare was without her left hind shoe, which the mare lost prior to the race. The rider stated that his instructions were to take his time on the mare and come with a late challenge. Jockey explained that the mare jumped the first two hurdles cautiously and ended up further back than he wanted, but at the time felt the mare was travelling nicely throughout the race. Jockey stated that there was a decent pace in the race so was not overly concerned to be held up in the last pair going down the back straight on the final circuit. Jockey added that the mare's jumping improved on the final circuit, but once he asked the mare to quicken approaching the final bend, the mare was hanging right. Jockey further added that when he straightened the mare up into the home straight he wanted to make his move between rivals to help his the mare stay straight, at which point a gap did not appear and he therefore switched right to continue his run where the mare hung violently right-handed up the straight, a matter that was reported to Scales, and in his opinion, gave a hands and heels ride to the line as best as he could with the mare hanging so badly. Trainer stated he was satisfied with the ride according to instructions and with the mare losing a shoe prior to the race, may have caused the mare to hang so violently right-handed on this occasion)
