IRREVOCABLE DREAM pulled his right front shoe en-route to the start which was attended to by the course farrier. This caused a delay to the start of this Race. IRREVOCABLE DREAM was slow into stride. DARKEST HOUR was slow losing one length. PRINCE OF PROMISE jumped inwards leaving the stalls. In view of the performance of FLYCATCHER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. DARKEST HOUR hung out from the 400m. Apprentice Schwarz, the rider of LIBERADO (NZ), accidentally dropped his crop at the 150m. LIBERADO (NZ) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. When afforded the opportunity to place on record anything that may have accounted for the improvement of LIBERADO, Trainer Alexander explained that the softer underfoot conditions and the Vaal 1600m straight had accounted for the improvement. Trainer Alexander's explanation was noted. DARKEST HOUR raced with a tongue tie on. Vet: FLAMING OPAL post race distress. FLYCATCHER - not striding out right front. Scratched: LAINSBERG BLUE - under veterinary treatment. OSCAR WILDE - mucus in trachea. AUGUST RAIN - scalped left front. SPANISH TUNE - sore left shoulder.
