THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	LOMU (JP van der Merwe), LADY OF FATE (J Solomons) and DISRUPTIVE (K Steyn) jumped slow, losing one length.	 

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	Shortly after the start KING'S COLOUR (C Little) and FROM THE HIP (*B Plaatjies) made contact.
b)	CITY OF PORT LOUIS (C Zackey) raced wide on the turn and into the straight.
c)	The saddle on RARE ONYX (*S Bungane), which was hanging out and pulled hard in the early stages, slipped sideways leaving the 1200m, placing Apprentice S Bungane at a disadvantage.
