Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a)	MARDI GRAS (*M K Katjedi) and GALLA VANTING (S Khumalo) were slow into stride.	

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:
a)	Leaving the 200m, MERCANTOUR (*S Sosibo) and CHYAVANA (G Lerena) were carried out by I AM GIANT (K de Melo), which shifted out and was corrected. Thereafter, in the concluding stages, MERCANTOUR (*S Sosibo) was carried out by CHYAVANA (G Lerena), which shifted out away from the crop. In consequence, MERCANTOUR (*S Sosibo) was directed inwards in anticipation of being awkwardly placed between CHYAVANA (G Lerena) and the outside running rail. 
Jockey G Lerena appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol film of the race and was advised to keep his mounts straight in races.	
b)	CHYAVANA (G Lerena), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. 
Trainer J J van Vuuren advised (MS).
