THE STARTER REPORTED: a) BUTTERFLY QUEEN (J Gates) was nervous in the stalls. b) OCEANS APART (D Ashby), RAGSAA (R Fourie) and PUBLIC BENEFIT (M Yeni) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) MERESANKH (L Mxothwa) proved difficult proceeding to the start and had to be led by a Handler, causing a delay.
