Raced greenly approaching the 250m and shifted out briefly locking wheels with MOVE IT LOU, which was checked, with NYMBAL,CYCLONE REBEL, PRINCE LINCOLN and WAR CHIEF being hampered. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners. Driver S Abernethy advised that the colt had raced keenly after contacting its sulky wheel disc over the early stages.

SPECIAL OCCASION - weakened in the run home. When questioned regarding the performance co-trainer/driver M Purdon advised the gelding had raced lethargically and may not have handled the track conditions. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a high heart rate and slow recovery. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.

A warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners. Driver S Abernethy advised that the colt had raced keenly after contacting its sulky wheel disc over the early stages.
