THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) At the 200m GIRL MAGIC (O Noach) had to be checked away from the heels of JOU LEKKER DING (G Wright) when carried outwards by BELA VISTA (C Zackey), which was improving into a narrow run between JOU LEKKER DING (G Wright), which rolled in marginally and LA DIVINA (C Orffer), which shifted out away from SOHOT SOWHAT (G Lerena). b) At the 100m BELA VISTA (C Zackey) and LA DIVINA (C Orffer) bumped heavily, became unbalanced and had to be checked, losing all momentum while racing on the outside of SOHOT SOWHAT (G Lerena) which shifted out. The Stewards have adjourned to review this incident. When interviewed regarding his riding in the latter stages, Jockey C Zackey told the Stewards that after suffering severe interference, BELA VISTA had become unbalanced and had felt uncomfortable in its action.

The Stewards have adjourned to consider Jockey C Zackey's statement and have requested that Trainer SJ Snaith report back should he find anything amiss with this filly on her return to the stables. c) Jockey C Bantam reported that CRYSTAL MAIDEN did not stride out freely in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. d) In view of the report from the Starter regarding BELA VISTA (C Zackey) and LA DIVINA (C Orffer), Trainers SJ Snaith and WA Nel have been advised to have these fillies re-schooled prior to their next engagement in terms of Rule 61.6.10. e) JOU LEKKER DING, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.
