ISIKHWAMI SAMI and ROYAL SPLURGE lost one length. SHINING RIVER and PARKDALE lost two lengths. In the concluding stages, RUBY COVE, which was hanging in from the 300m, proving difficult to assist, had to ease when awkwardly placed on the heels of CRIMEA. As a consequence of this incident, Apprentice Schwarz was unable to assist this filly to the end of the Race. BLUSHING DIAMOND shifted out away from the crop at the 350m. PARKDALE over-raced in the early and middle stages. Jockey Moodley signed an admission of guilt for a contravention, read in conjunction with Guideline M, in that whilst riding EXCESSIVE GRACE, he used his crop more than 12 times in the entire Race. In deciding what penalty to impose, the Board considered Jockey Moodley's recent record in relation to this Rule. Accordingly a penalty of R2500 was imposed. RUBY SLIPPERS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Scratched: SUMMER DAY and WISP OF GLORY (AUS) - eliminated.
