THE STARTER REPORTED: a) THE OCTAGON (P Mxoli) jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) EMPIRE BLUE and TRUSTFALL commenced to over-race in the middle stages. The Stewards determined that this was due to the slower tempo at this stage of the event. b) THE OCTAGON commenced to hang in shortly after straightening and proved difficult to assist. The gelding gave ground as a result. Due to this, the veterinary surgeon was requested to examine the gelding. c) TRUSTFALL (D Daniels), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer D Swanson advised (AH). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: a) TRUSTFALL raced equipped with ear muffs (declared 6 April 2025 at 10H34). THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) THE OCTAGON examined post race, nothing obvious detected. SCRATCHED: a) COSMIC EVENT elevated temperature (Trainer) (Rule 53.5 applies).
