The start of this race was delayed due to the late arrival of the horses at the start, the subsequent late positioning of the stalls on the track, as well as the draw allocation boards having to be attended to. Thereafter during the loading process RUBY RISING (K Matsunyane) became restless and rushed the front fates. RUBY RISING (K Matsunyane) was released from the stalls, examined by the Veterinary Surgeon, passed fit to race and reloaded, leading to a further delay to the start of this race. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) During the loading process RUBY RISING (K Matsunyane) became restless in the stalls. This filly was removed, examined by the Veterinary Surgeon, passed suitable to race and reloaded. b) FIRE TIGER (M Yeni) lost 1 length.
