During the loading process GREAT ESTEEM became restless. Consequently ROYAL TIGER reared and sat down on its hindquarters. ROYAL TIGER was released from the starting stalls, inspected by the veterinary surgeon and subsequently withdrawn. GREAT ESTEEM reared in the stalls. Trainer Matchett was advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement. SUNNY SIDE UP was restless in the stalls. ABLE SURPRISE, IMPERIOUS DUKE and POR UNA CABEZA (ARG) were slow, losing 1 length. ABLE SURPRISE clipped the heels of POR UNA CABEZA (ARG) at the 1000m. Jockey de Gouveia reported that he felt something amiss with IMPERIOUS DUKE in running. Jockey Moutard reported that POR UNA CABEZA (ARG) did not stride out freely in running. STORM COMMANDER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: IMPERIOUS DUKE - examined post-race, nothing obvious detected. POR UNA CABEZA (ARG) - lame left hind; speedy cut left hind; stirrup rub both sides. Scratched: OFFICER - cast in box. ROYAL TIGER - injured in the starting stalls.
