LAVER - weakened from the 800m. When questioned regarding the performance driver G O'Reilly advised the gelding had raced lethargically from the 800m after improving wide through the middle stages and he was disappointed with the effort. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a slow recovery. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.
