The start of the 5th Race was delayed due to STAR VEGA being subjected to a late veterinary examination at the start. STAR VEGA was restless in the stalls, removed, examined by the Course Veterinary Surgeon, passed fit to race and reloaded. Trainer Rivalland was advised to re-school this filly. TWICE AS SMART lost 1 length. STAR VEGA over-raced in the early stages. At the 200m, TWICE AS SMART had to ease when awkwardly placed between SPRING BREEZE and LIQUID IRISH, who had come to the end of her run and was tiring. In view of the performance of LIQUID IRISH the Course Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. Trainer W Whitehead will be requested to report back to the Stipendiary Board on the condition of this filly on return to stables. Apprentice Arries signed an admission of guilt for a contravention, read in conjunction with Guideline M, in that he struck the horse SHE'S A DREAM more than 12 times in the entire race. A penalty of a fine was imposed. In the concluding stages, ON THE DOUBLE had to ease when awkwardly placed between WINTER SUN, which rolled out, and MASTER KEYS, which shifted in away from the crop. As a consequence of this incident, Jockey de Melo was unable to assist his mount to the end of the race. MASTER KEYS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: LIQUID IRISH - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: PROMISE - transport complications.
