Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	GETUPANDGO (JP van der Merwe) and O'FELLOW (O Noach) jumped slow, losing one length.
b)	GREEN COMMANDER (S Veale) jumped awkwardly, losing one length.
	
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	During the canter past, the saddle on O'FELLOW slipped forward which resulted in Jockey O Noach being unable to restrain this colt which, as a consequence, proceeded to the start too freely. O'FELLOW (O Noach) was re-saddled at the start. The Veterinary Surgeon examined this colt and passed him suitable to race. 
b)	LOVE FROM AFAR (C Orffer) and GREEN COMMANDER (S Veale) proved difficult to settle in the early stages.
c)	Racing into the turn at the 1100m, GETUPANDGO (JP van der Merwe) raced in restricted galloping room on the inside of O'FELLOW (O Noach), which raced green, rolled in and had to be directed outwards.
d)	At the 50m LOOK AHEAD (C Zackey) was steadied when awkwardly placed on the outside of the heels of LOVE FROM AFAR (C Orffer), which over reacted and shifted out sharply when directed outwards. 
e) 	Jockey C Zackey reported that LOOK AHEAD made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. 
f)	In view of the debut performance of O'FELLOW (O Noach), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. 
g)	SIERRA SAGRADA, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.  Trainer VH Marshall was advised. (TJ)
h)	RED WAVE, the second-placed horse, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.  Trainer SJ Snaith was advised. (TJ)
