WOODLAND'S FOREST was slow into stride. POPPYCOCK jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls. SKIMINAC over-raced in the early and middle stages and thereafter compounded from the 400m. MAJOR RETURN over-raced in the middle stages. In view of the performances of FACT and SKIMINAC, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. IMPERIAL RUBY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. WOODLAND'S FOREST raced without a tongue tie. Vet: FACT - blowing. MAJOR RETURN and SKIMINAC fatigued. WOODLAND'S FOREST - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: POMANDER - mucus in trachea.
