THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: 

a)	THREAD OF LIFE (C Maujean) did not parade in front of the grandstand and proceeded directly to the start. Jockey C Maujean appeared before the Board and was advised to make more of an effort to parade his mounts. Trainer TJ Laing was advised that should this filly refuse to parade in future engagements, she may be suspended. 
b)	DUELLONA (*J Botes) raced prominently many lengths ahead of the field from the start and tired quickly in the latter part of the race.
c)	WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (R Fourie) made slight contact with ELUSIVE MATA (M van Rensburg) when these horses raced in close proximity at approximately the 150m. Thereafter, WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (R Fourie) had to steady momentarily off the heels of a tiring DUELLONA (*J Botes) and was directed inwards to obtain clear running shortly before the finish.
d)	THREAD OF LIFE, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer was advised. (LM)
e)	ICE CAP, the second-placed horse, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer DG Smith, acting on behalf of Trainer GD Smith, was advised. (LM)
