Stipes Report
THE STARTER REPORTED: a) FULL GO (J R Syster) was slow losing two lengths. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At approximately the 150m, THAMBI (K A Brewer) was steadied momentarily when awkwardly placed between WHISPERS OF WAR (AUS) (K Matsunyane), which hung out from the 300m, and VAVA VEGAS (D Schwarz), which was carried in by FULL GO (J R Syster), which shifted in away from the crop and was immediately straightened. As a consequence, Jockey J R Syster (FULL GO) briefly dropped his right-side rein.
