DUKE DIAMOND and PHILANTHROPIC were both slow into stride. TRUE STRENGTH was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Nassif was questioned regarding the improved performance of TRUE STRENGTH as compared to this gelding's previous performance. Mr Nassif explained that in his opinion this gelding enjoys racing at Scottsville and appears to not perform well at the Turffontein inside track. He has been advised to refrain from racing this gelding at the Turffontein inside track in future, and that the future performances of TRUE STRENGTH will be monitored by the Stipendiary Board. DUKE DIAMOND brushed the inside running rail approaching the 500 metre mark. Jockey de Melo, the rider of DUKE DIAMOND, and Jockey Khumalo, the rider of PHILANTHROPIC, reported that their respective mounts took no interest in running. Jockey Randolph, the rider of ROYAL NISHA (AUS), and Jockey Delpech, the rider of MOON FLIGHT, reported that their respective mounts did not act in the prevailing soft underfoot track conditions. LEAGUE OF HIS OWN was hanging in over the final 400 metres. LEAGUE OF HIS OWN returned post race having cast the right hind shoe. Jockey Kennedy, the rider of TRUE STRENGTH, raced in Club Colours. Vet: MODERN ROYAL - respiratory noise. DUKE DIAMOND and PHILANTHROPIC - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: TARGET FIVE - Stipes Permission.
