THE STARTER REPORTED: a) A fair start. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : a) ALLAROUNDTHEWORLD (GB) (R Fourie) commenced to hang out when over-racing in the early and middle stages. b) At approximately the 300m KING BAVARIAN (M Yeni) had to steady and switch out to avoid running onto the heels of RAVENS SWORD (C Habib) which had come to the end of its run. As a consequence, PONGOLA (*R A Venniker) was brushed out by KING BAVARIAN (M Yeni). c) Leaving the 300m DUKE OF AFRICA (S Moodley) was baulked for a number of strides between TOM'S ACT (T Godden), which was hanging in, and SAFE SPACE (*K J Lihaba) which shifted out away from the crop. d) In view of the performance of LAUDATO (*S Hlengwa) (3.50 lengths, 10/1 in the betting), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. e) PONGOLA (*R A Venniker), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer M L Roberts advised (DZ). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) Nil. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) Nil. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED : a) LAUDATO : Not striding out right front. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS : DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: a) None.
