DELRAY BEACH, CATCH THE FOX, AFRICAN TRIUMPH and GOLD HUNTER were slow into stride. VAVASOUR and DOWN UNDER both lost 1 length. CATCH THE FOX was difficult to load. DELRAY BEACH was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Bestel was questioned regarding the improved performance of DELRAY BEACH, compared to this gelding's previous run on the 14th April 2014. She explained that that run was the first run for her yard and the fitting of blinkers for today's run had, in her opinion, accounted for the improved performance. Her explanation was noted and Miss Bestel has been advised to race this gelding equipped with blinkers in future. GOLD HUNTER, VAVASOUR and DOWN UNDER raced green. CAPTAIN QUAKER raced green and was hanging in throughout. MYSTERIOUS CAT was hanging out throughout. Jockey Shea reported that he felt something amiss with MYSTERIOUS CAT in the latter stages. CATCH THE FOX was not persevered with over the final 300 metres. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. GOLD HUNTER is a gelding. DOWN UNDER raced with his tongue tied down. GOLD HUNTER is a gelding and not a colt as carded. Vet: MYSTERIOUS CAT - nothing obvious detected. CATCH THE FOX - not striding out right fore.
