Stipes Report

During the loading process VICTOR RAIL (A Mgudlwa) and TEEREX (C Habib) became restless in the stalls. These geldings were released from the starting stalls, examined by the Veterinary Surgeon, passed fit to race and reloaded.  This caused a delay to the start of this race.

b)	LITTLEBLACKGEM (*B Plaatjies) over-raced in the early and middle stages and as a result, raced in advance of the field. 
c)	Approaching the 200m GAELIC DANCER (G Lerena) which hung in from the 300m, was switched to the outside of LOU LOU THE LEGEND (S Veale) to continue its run.
d)	In the concluding stages TEEREX (C Habib) was eased in anticipation of the available run closing between the inside running rail and ONE IRISH ROVER (*B Marx-Jacobson) which rolled in.
