A post race veterinary check revealed no injury. Trainer Richard Breen informed Stewards that the dog lost weight when he took him over and he has been unable to put weight back on the dog and therefore he was still quite weak. He was informed that a better performance would be expected at the dogs next start. HOMEBUSH ROSEBUD brushed the rail on two occasions in the back straight but finished on for fourth. ANOTHER MOVE ran wide on the home turn losing ground. The connections of the winner HOMEBUSH LIGNITE advised that the dog did not handle Wanganui at its second to last start and its last start was in a final in a good field adding that he appreciated the drop in class today.
