THE STARTER REPORTED: a) JUAN CARLOS (C Maujean) and HAROLD THE DUKE (KA Brewer) were stubborn loading. b) ZATARA MAGIC (K Steyn) was nervous in the stalls. c) BOURNEMOUTH (R Fourie) jumped slow, losing two lengths. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At the 3000m HAROLD THE DUKE (KA Brewer) had to steady momentarily off the heels of PAINITE (M van Rensburg) when carried outwards by MAGNUM FIRE (S Naidoo), which was steadied off the heels of ZATARA MAGIC (K Steyn), who eased his mount at the front of the field for no apparent reason. The Stewards have adjourned to review this incident. b) The saddle on MAGNUM FIRE slipped sideways at the 2800m, which resulted in Jockey S Naidoo not being able to fully assist this gelding. c) BATTLEGROUND (S Khumalo) shifted out away from the crop in the concluding stages. d) Jockey K Steyn (ZATARA MAGIC) fainted post-race and was attended to by the course Medical Officer. This precluded Jockey K Steyn from being able to weigh in.
