SMOKE ON THE WATER - when questioned regarding the performance driver R Close advised the gelding had been unsuited by the tempo of the race after starting from a 40 metre handicap. Mr Close added that the horse had been unable to make up ground due to the fast closing sectionals of the race and considering this he was not disappointed with the effort.
