Tsunami Near the 200m, when weakening, had to be checked when crowded. Rdr reported the gelding travelled well throughout the early and middle stages when racing in a forward position trailing the leader, however when asked to improve near the 400m, it failed to quicken and despite having to be checked near the 200m, he felt it was a beaten horse and as such he did not fully test it over the final 150m. He added in his opinion the gelding raced flat and may have come to the end of its preparation. A post-race vet exam revealed no abnormalities. Newcastle 21/09/2024
