THE STARTER REPORTED: a) SUDDEN SONG (K Steyn) jumped awkwardly, losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At the 200m NIGHT RULER (R Fourie) had to be steadied when unable to secure a clear run between the inside running rail and GLOBAL ALLY (L Mxothwa). Thereafter, NIGHT RULER (R Fourie) was continually held up for a clear run until the finish. b) At the 300m STEINBECK (G van Niekerk), which initially rolled out and carried KEEP IT SECRET (JP van der Merwe) outwards, was unable to secure clear running between CHOLLIMA (A Arries) and SUDDEN SONG (K Steyn), which commenced to hang in, shifted in and had to be straightened. Thereafter, SUDDEN SONG (K Steyn), which continued to hang in, shifted in and made contact with CHOLLIMA (A Arries), which had to be steadied as a consequence. Jockey K Steyn appeared before the Board and was advised that while the Stewards accepted that SUDDEN SONG was hanging in, he needs to take stronger corrective measures when his mounts require straightening in similar circumstances. c) THE FUTURIST, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer B Crawford was advised. (CvA) d) KEEP IT SECRET, the third-placed horse, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer SJ Snaith was advised. (SC) JOCKEY AND/OR EQUIPMENT CHANGES: a) Nil RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER a) Nil THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) CHOLIMA - wound on and swollen right front knee THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS
