Touch slowly away - in rear - raced freely - weakened (rider advised that the gelding raced keenly in the early and middle stages; he added that the gelding did not handle the dirt surface and would be better suited racing on the turf)

11th
Reared and lost ground start - recovered to race in touch - folded tamely 3f out (rider advised that the gelding raced keen in the early stages and to avoid racing onto the heels of other runners he elected to allow the gelding to stride forward around the field; post-race vet exam revealed the gelding to be mildly lame in the right-fore leg)
