The start of this race was delayed due to the previous race delay. EMINENCE DAY, BLACK PLATINUM and TEMBOT were all slow into stride. DRIFT ALONG lost 1 length. ROYAL GALAXY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer Steyn was questioned with regards to the improved performance of ROYAL GALAXY, compared to this gelding's previous start on 29 December 2013. PLATE OF PLATINUM was over-racing in the early stages. Jockey Forbes reported that PLATE OF PLATINUM was not striding out freely in running. ACAPULCO was hanging out in the latter stages. BLACK PLATINUM was pulling hard in the early and middle stages, difficult to settle. AL SAYAAF (ARG) was not persevered with in the latter stages. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Vet: PLATE OF PLATINUM - not striding out left fore. AL SAYAAF (ARG) - coughing. Scratched: MALUTI - Insufficient recovery time.
