ROLLECKS – Trainer C Maggs reported to Stewards in the days following the above race that he was disappointed with the gelding’s performance. He added that while the gelding seemed to have recovered well from the run, he felt that it may have been flattened somewhat by its first up win the week prior, which it hadn’t trialled prior to and the heat during the week may have taken a toll on it. He further added that he would not be starting the gelding again for a couple of weeks to give it a short freshen-up.
