Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a)	CALLABURN (*G Dookhit) was slow losing one length.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a)	UNSOLVED RIDDLE (*T Mayhew) over-raced in the early and middle stages, proving difficult to assist. As a consequence, this gelding raced wide around the turn and into the straight. 
b)	At approximately the 250m, CARNELO (*I Taka), which had come to the end of its run, was steadied when awkwardly placed between FLAG BEARER (*G Samo-Burthia) and LIBECCIO (*N Nastili), which was switched out off the heels of PERINI PALACE (*B Plaatjies) to continue its run. 
	Apprentice N Nastili (LIBECCIO) appeared before the Board and was advised to take more care when shifting ground in races. 
c)	LADY SABRINA (*K J Lihaba), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.	
Assistant Trainer W Marwing, acting on behalf of Trainer W H Marwing, was advised (MS).
