REPETITIVE lost one length. At the 1000m, AL JAZEERA was carried out by LIGHTENING SPIRIT, which over-raced in the early stages. Approaching the 950m, ULTERIOR MOTIVE was carried out by THE WESTERNER, which shifted out sharply. Jockey De Melo reported that he felt something amiss with ULTERIOR MOTIVE in the running. In view of the performance of THE WESTERNER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. AL JAZEERA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: THE WESTERNER - coughing and not striding out left hind. ULTERIOR MOTIVE - nothing obvious detected.
