The start of this race was delayed due to DARING DRIFT breaking through the front gate, dislodging its rider, having to be caught and returned to the start. DARING DRIFT broke through the front gate dislodging Apprentice Maleking, caught and returned to the start, checked by the Veterinary Surgeon and reloaded. Stable Employee Dhlamini, acting on behalf of Trainer Magner, was advised to re-school this horse prior to its next engagement. MAJOR IMPACT raced equipped with blinkers. DOWN MEXICO WAY was pulling hard in the early stages, difficult to restrain. SKYFALL was hanging out from approximately the 600 metre mark. MATCHLESS FLAG was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MATCHLESS FLAG raced without blinkers. Vet: DOWN MEXICO WAY - not striding out right front. PRIVY'S PROMISE - coughing. Scratched: FORT DIXY - changed stables.
