ON ARRIVAL AT THE START JOCKEY C ZACKEY EXPRESSED CONCERNS REGARDING THE SOUNDNESS OF PROFESSOR SNAPE.

Stable Employee M Peter, acting on behalf of Trainer A P Peter, was advised (MS). JOCKEY CHANGES: a) PROFESSOR SNAPE was carded to be ridden by Jockey C Zackey (declared 21 January 2025 at 08H19).
