INSIDE POLITICS and SURFER DUDE flyjumped leaving the stalls. JUNGLE BOOK and BOSCASTLE lost 1 length. KEEPING THE FAITH over-raced badly in the early and middle stages and compounded from the 400m. Apprentice Matsunyane reported that GREAT ESTEEM changed strides continually in running. PIDGEON ROCK was hanging in from the 200m. PIDGEON ROCK was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. UNDISCLOSED raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: GREAT ESTEEM - examined post-race, nothing obvious detected. BAHAMA STAR - not striding out left front. Scratched: CROOK CREEK - abnormal temperature. MINISTER WITHOUT - pulled muscle. FOLLOWING THE RUNNING OF RACE 3, JOCKEY LERENA, IN HIS PERSONAL CAPACITY, RAISED CONCERNS REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE TRACK. HE WAS OF THE OPINION THAT IT WAS INCONSISTENT AND THE HORSES WERE FALTERING. IN VIEW OF THIS HE REQUESTED THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STAND DOWN FROM HIS REMAINING RIDE IN RACE 8. PERMISSION WAS GRANTED FOR THE JOCKEY CHANGE.
