ch g Choisir (AUS) - Polish Saga (Polish Patriot)
Held up, last 2 out, 4th at last, pushed out and kept on without threatening run-in (jockey said, regarding running and riding, because the gelding ran poorly the previous day, his orders were to drop in towards the rear, give it a chance and let it run on and win if possible, adding that in running it jumped to the right and began to slow at the top of the hill at which it was continuously making a respiratory noise, he kept a hold of its head and only passed tired horses in the straight and in his opinion attained the best possible placing; trainer confiirmed adding that the jockey looked a little easy on the gelding in the final stages but it needs better ground and possibly 2 1/2m to be seen at its best.)
