Stipes Report

THE START OF THIS RACE WAS DELAYED DUE TO MIA MOO (P STRYDOM) AND CHROME TOURMALINE (K MATSUNYANE) HAVING TO BE RESADDLED AT THE START.

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a)	MIA MOO (P Strydom) was stubborn loading and thereafter was slow losing one length.
b)	During the loading process, MINOGUE (C Zackey) kicked the back gates on two occasions. 
c)	As the start was effected, WHISTLE THE TUNE (C Habib) reared resulting in this filly losing two lengths.

It was established on reviewing the patrol films from the various angles that this incident was solely due to horse behaviour, that WHISTLE THE TUNE (C Habib) had suffered no impediment from a Handler, its front gate had opened on terms and as such was deemed to be a runner. 
b)	At the 300m, KOMATI RIVER (A Fortune) was steadied when awkwardly placed on the heels of MINOGUE (C Zackey), which shifted out sharply.
c)	At approximately the 150m, ALMOND SEA (G Lerena), which had come to the end of its run, was steadied momentarily when awkwardly placed on the heels of MINOGUE (C Zackey), which hung out.
