THE STARTER REPORTED: a) TIZONA (G van Niekerk) jumped slow, losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) Leaving the 100m FORT RED (M Yeni) was carried in slightly by LE MORNE (L Mxothwa) and had to be checked away from the heels of TIZONA (G van Niekerk), which shifted out. Thereafter LE MORNE (L Mxothwa) and TIZONA (G van Niekerk) brushed at the finish. Jockey G van Niekerk appeared before the Board and was told that while the Stewards accepted that the outward movement by TIZONA (G van Niekerk) was gradual and that the inward movement from LE MORNE (L Mxothwa) had contributed to these incidents, the Stewards expect him to react sooner and to make more effort to keep his mounts on a straight course in similar circumstances. b) In view of the performance of ON THE ROAD AGAIN (G Wright) the veterinary surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. c) LE MORNE, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer B Crawford was advised. (SC) JOCKEY AND/OR EQUIPMENT CHANGES: a) Nil RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER a) Nil THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) ON THE ROAD AGAIN - examined post-race. Nothing obvious detected b) MASTER OF AFRICA - cast right front shoe THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS
