b)	STORMY SEAS (JP van der Merwe) jumped slow, losing one length.
c)	COVERT OPERATOR (G Lerena) was slow into stride.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:

b)	Approaching the 250m Jockey D Schwarz felt something amiss with BRONCO BLITZ and eased this gelding 	out of the race. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine.
c)	BRONCO BLITZ (D Schwarz) returned with a bilateral epistaxis due to an exercise induced pulmonary 	haemorrhage and is suspended, for a period of 60 days, from racing in any race under the jurisdiction of The 	National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa in terms of Rule 93.1. (Dr M Bawden)
