(16h19) b) Steady rain fell prior to and during the running of this race. c) Jockeys G van Niekerk (MONEY EXTRACTOR) and R Piechulek (SMART HORSE) elected to race wide on the latter part of the turn and then directed their mounts towards the outside of the racecourse. d) All Riders returned to the scale slightly over the weight at which they had weighed out.
