Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	ROSA ROSSA (X Ndlovu) was stubborn loading, nervous in the stalls and thereafter jumped awkwardly, losing one length.
b)	SPRING IN HER STEP (M Mjoka) was stubborn loading and jumped slow, losing one length.
c)	HEARTLIGHT (Y Ramzan) was slow into stride.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	The saddle on BEST INTENTIONS (S Khumalo), which proved difficult to settle in the early stages, slipped back marginally in running. This was confirmed by a Stipendiary Steward.
b)	WHATABALL (K Minnie) was hanging out on the turn and, as a consequence, raced very wide on the turn until passing the 500m.
c)	WHATABALL, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer AC Greeff was advised. (LM)
