THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED:

b)	After being slow to begin WATER DRAGON (O Noach), which was ridden forward, had to be steadied when close 	to the heels of DEFINITELY YES (C Zackey) at the 1200m. 
c)	At the 350m SCOTTISH LINKS (L Mxothwa) was carried outwards by GREEN GARNET (G van Niekerk), which 	shifted out. Jockey G van Niekerk appeared before the Board and was advised to take stronger measures to keep 	his mounts on a straight course in similar circumstances. 
d)	Jockey C Zackey reported that he felt something amiss with DEFINITELY YES and he did not persevere with his 	riding in the latter stages. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding.
