Trainer Mr. G. Aravind and Jockey A.R. Pradeep were questioned over the relatively poor performance of MASKED MARVEL in the above race as compared to its previous run in Race No.56, i.e. The Baraloy Plate-(About) 1400 Metres, for horses rated 20 to 45, 5 years old and over, when ridden by Jockey Deep Shanker, it ran 3^rd.   The Trainer stated that he asked the Jockey to jump out, sit in good position and do his best in the straight.  The Trainer also stated that as the horse was slowly away, the Jockey could not get position in the straight. Jockey corroborated the statement of the trainer and added that the horse was sluggish in the straight and he could not get a good position in the early stages of the race. Their explanations were noted and the trainer was informed to ensure consistent performance of his horses.
