MACANDREW AVIATOR - paced roughly shortly after the start. Weakened from the 700m hampering a trailing runner. When questioned regarding the performance driver M Williamson advised the gelding had hung on various occasions during the running. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a high heart rate and slow recovery and the gelding to be lame in the right front leg. Stood down pending a veterinary clearance prior to resuming.
