109 Zaaki Rider reported the gelding was disappointing and had every chance. He stated mount raced keenly in the early stages and in his view will benefit from today’s race. He added mount was not fully comfortable commencing the turn passing the 600 metres and was then out sprinted. He added that mount had returned to scale feeling well. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any obvious abnormality and a sample was taken for analysis. Trainer reported after viewing the race she was of the view that the gelding raced keenly today and in her opinion may not have handled the Caulfield track.
