b)	IZUIZORIZUAINT (S Moodley)  was hanging in, in the concluding stages.
c)	In view of the Starter's report with regard to GOLD ENSIGN (M V'Rensburg), this gelding's starting stall certificate is withdrawn and it is suspended in terms of Rule 61.6.10 for a period of 7 days and until such time as it proves tractable with a companion.  Suspension dates: 16.01.23 to the 22.01.23.  GOLD ENSIGN may not be presented for re-passing during this period.  Trainer M J Odendaal was advised (SN).
d)	Trainer C Hewitson was questioned regarding the improved performance of IZUIZORIZUAINT (S Moodley) compared to this gelding's previous run over 1600m.
