COURAGE REACTOR - pulled hard in the score up. Commenced to over-race entering the back straight the first time and was taken out to improve three wide. Was obliged to remain three wide without cover when the parked position, which was being held by the over-racing INDISPOSED, was not available. Lost ground racing down the back the final time before weakening further from the 500m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormality.
