THE STARTER REPORTED: a) MISS VALENTYNA (S Naidoo) was unruly and stubborn loading and nervous in the stalls. b) FLYING SOLO (S Khathi) jumped outwards, losing two lengths. c) TRILLION DREAMS (J Gates) jumped slow, losing two lengths. d) POISE PANACHE (E Webber) jumped slow, losing one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) TO BE FREE (K Steyn) proved difficult proceeding to the start and had to be led by a Handler. Trainer SB Kotzen was advised that should this filly behave in a similar manner in future engagements, it may be suspended. b) As the start was effected, the front gates of CLOUDBURST (Y Ramzan) in stall 7 did not open.

This filly is suspended in terms of Rule 93.2.5 until she proves tractable to race on a straight line in future engagements. Trainer K Mitchley was advised. d) Jockey J Gates was charged with a contravention of Rule 58.10.2 (Guideline 3; Appendix E) in that he mis- used his crop by striking TRILLION DREAMS forward of the saddle at the 250m.
