STUNNING GUY was slow into stride. GANDOLF THE GREAT lost 1 length. PLATE OF PLATINUM was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Moore was questioned regarding the improved performance of PLATE OF PLATINUM compared to this gelding's previous race on the 23.2.2014. He explained that in this gelding's previous run he had drawn badly and had to overcome the bad draw to race handily which had resulted in this gelding compounding in the latter stages. Today, from a bad draw, he had advised Apprentice Thackeray to drop this gelding out which, in his opinion, had accounted for the improved performance. Mr Moore's explanation was noted. PLATE OF PLATINUM was hanging in and shifted in, resulting in INTERFACE ACE being momentarily eased and switched out for a clear run at approximately the 200 metre mark. Apprentice Barnes, the rider of TRIMONTIUM, and Apprentice Godden, the rider of PEARLY KING, reported that their respective mounts did not act in the prevailing soft underfoot track conditions. STUNNING GUY was hanging in, in the latter stages. Apprentice Mo, the rider of SPARKSAFLYING, and Apprentice Godden, the rider of PEARLY KING, both had satisfactory qualifying rides. PEARLY KING raced fitted with blinkers and with his tongue tied down. SILVER BACK raced fitted with steels.
