THE STARTER REPORTED: a) GOLDEN PAVILION (C Zackey) was nervous in the stalls and jumped awkwardly, losing one length. b) TO THE HILT (S Khathi) and GUNSMOKE (*DB Geerthsen) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) ABOUND recorded a TCO2 concentration of more than 36 mmol/L. Trainer K Mitchley was advised that a second blood specimen would be collected. This specimen was of an acceptable TCO2 level. b) As the start was effected, the lead rope that was attached to the bridle of GOLDEN PAVILION (C Zackey) became entangled. This resulted in this gelding jumping awkwardly and losing one length.

In view of the performance of TO THE HILT (S Khathi) the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. d) In view of the performance of ABOUND (M Yeni) (Betting 11/2; Distance 2.25 lengths), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding.
