Stipes Report
THE STARTER REPORTED: a) NYALI BEACH (K Matsunyane), GILDA GRAY (C Maujean), EASTERN WORLD (D De Gouveia) and BIG CITY GIRL (J P van der Merwe) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) TREATY (N Klink) and SONG OF ANGELS (*S Sosibo) raced wide around the turn and into the straight.

The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this mare. b) QUEEN OF SMOKE (R Simons) hung in from the 300m. c) STRANGE MAGIC (K de Melo), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer C Dawson advised (DR). JOCKEY CHANGES: a) SONG OF ANGELS: Apprentice S Sosibo weighed out at 49,2kg, only claiming 3kg of his 4kg apprentice allowance as declared. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: None. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) SPEECHMAKER examined post race, nothing obvious detected. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
