There was a slight delay to the start of the 9th Race as a result of the starting stalls having to be re-positioned after the horses had arrived at the start. MIGHTY MONARCH jumped with his head up and was slow into stride. DESTINED FOR DAWN and LE COMTE both lost 1 length. SHINING EMPIRE was difficult to load. BLUES TRAVELLER was slow into stride. THE BIG LEAGUE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SECRET TRAVELLER and FIRST DEFENCE were hanging in throughout. SAIL TO PARADISE was hanging out throughout. Jockey Jacobson, the rider of DESTINED FOR DAWN, and Jockey Yeni, the rider of FIRST DEFENCE, reported that their respective mounts took no interest in running. MIGHTY MONARCH was switched in to obtain a clear run approaching the 400 metre mark. Jockey Forbes reported that he felt something amiss with LE COMTE in running. GOLDEN ARM raced green. SHINING EMPIRE is a gelding and not a colt as carded. Vet: DESTINED FOR DAWN and FIRST DEFENCE - nothing obvious detected. LE COMTE - not striding out right hind. Scratched: COODA and GOLD HUNTER - elevated temperature. WILD LORD - coughing. AFRICAN TRIUMPH - injured in transit. The course farrier on duty did not report there to be anything amiss with the shoes fitted to the horses that raced at today's race meeting. The passports of all the runners that raced at today's race meeting were checked, identities, AHS and Equine Influenza vaccinations confirmed, as per normal procedure.
