Stipes Report

THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	Fair start.	

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	SUNDROP (*DB Geerthsen) raced without cover in the early and middle stages and, as a consequence, proved difficult to settle.
b)	Approaching the 200m MILLENNIUM DANCER (S Khumalo) had to be steadied away from the heels of DANCE MO (C Zackey) when brushed outwards by WHATCHMYTAIL (C Maujean), which shifted out away from the crop and was immediately straightened.
c)	At the 150m RAIN BIRD (X Ndlovu) rolled out and was brushed on the hindquarters by KAMARIA (Y Ramzan).
d)	Jockey L Mxothwa reported that he felt something amiss with HALLOWED SECRET and he did not persevere with his riding in the latter stages. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly.
e)	In view of the performance of MILLENNIUM DANCER (S Khumalo), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly.
f)	LOVE SONG, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer AC Greeff was advised. (LM)
