THE STARTER REPORTED: a) MISS CHRISTMAS (C Zackey) was stubborn loading. b) VOLTE FACE (D Schwarz) was slow losing one length. c) TIME TO MEDITATE (Wes Marwing) was slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At approximately the 200m, NGOKUSHESHA (R Munger) and DESERT FOX (J P van der Merwe) were carried in by HAZLO GRANDE (*P Mxoli), which was switched in off the heels of PUERTO PLATA (ARG) (K de Melo) to continue its run. b) At approximately the 50m, SWORD OF MERCY (S Khumalo) had to ease in anticipation of the available run closing between HAZLO GRANDE (*P Mxoli), which shifted out away from the crop, and PUERTO PLATA (ARG) (K de Melo), which shifted in away from the crop. As a result, HAZLO GRANDE (*P Mxoli) and PUERTO PLATA (ARG) (K de Melo) came together and brushed shortly before the finish line. c) HAZLO GRANDE (*P Mxoli), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer P F Matchett advised (MduP). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: a) VOLTE FACE raced equipped with alumites in front and steel shoes behind (declared 16 March 2023 at 13H59). THE VETERINARY SURGEON HAD NO REPORTS. SCRATCHED: a) WONDERWORLD abnormal blood count (Trainer) (Rule 53.5 applies). DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
