THE STARTER REPORTED:

a)	Fair start.	
	
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	TO THE HILT (*N Nastili) shifted both ways away from the crop from the 400m. Consequently, this gelding had to be straightened on a number of occasions.

b)	CATCH YOUR BREATH (R Fourie) shifted inwards away from the crop at approximately the 250m and was 	corrected.
c)	MISTER WHISTLE (C Maujean) over raced in the early and middle stages.
d)	Jockey L Mxothwa reported that he felt something amiss with SLAINTE MHATH. The Veterinary Surgeon was 	requested to examine this gelding.
