Stewards queried run when 3 len 5th of 7 (6) $4.00 57.0 Braveheart 1110m Doomben E&G Hcp (C3) Soft(6) Jun 24. Kept ticking over with 3/4 len 2nd of 7 (6) Hell 1000m Gold Coast Barrier Trl Soft(5) Jul 14. Modest performance in soft going this venue when crunched in betting at first run for new trainer. Fitter second-up and takes a 2kg claim. Since trialled at Gold Coast 14 Jul. Must be given thought.
