BELT UP and PIMPERNEL (NZ) both lost 1 length. BRASS VERDICT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. RED ROVER and HICKORY HILL were pulling hard in the early stages and difficult to restrain. In view of the performance of PIMPERNEL (NZ), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. MR ROYAL (AUS) clipped the heels of AFRICA and stumbled at approximately the 550 metre mark and thereafter was hanging in, in the straight. Apprentice Barnes reported that he felt something amiss with PEARLY KING in running. The Stipendiary Board will inquire into Jockey Horcajada's use of the crop on BRASS VERDICT in the straight. PIMPERNEL (NZ) did not race fitted with blinkers. Vet: RED ROVER - abnormal respiratory noise. PIMPERENL (NZ) and PEARLY KING - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: LEAGUE OF HIS OWN - coughing.
