THE STARTER REPORTED: a) OPEN HIGHWAY (D Schwarz) stumbled leaving the stalls. b) POCKET WATCH (C Habib) and SOUTHERN BLAZE (D De Gouveia) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) RADU (P Strydom), which stood awkwardly in the stalls jumped awkwardly outwards making contact with the right-side front gate leaving the stalls and as a result was slow away, losing two lengths. In an attempt to overcome the tardy start, RADU was encouraged forward, which resulted in this filly racing wide around the turn and into the straight and tiring from the 300m. b) At the 600m, PRICELESS (*M K Katjedi), which commenced to over-race, ran onto and clipped the heels of FLAMBOYANT FLYER (G Lerena). c) RUN FOR COVER (S Khumalo) hung in from the 500m. d) PRICELESS (*M K Katjedi) shifted in sharply away from the crop in the concluding stages. e) OPEN HIGHWAY (D Schwarz), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer F Bronkhorst advised (MS). JOCKEY CHANGES: a) HALBERDIER was ridden by Jockey J R Syster (declared 18 May 2024 at 16H37). RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: None. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) RADU mouth injury. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
