The start of this Race was delayed due to the objection following Race 4 and FIRST DEFENCE being difficult proceeding to the start. FIRST DEFENCE, BEZ-ART, AL FONZO, BIG THRASH and SHOW ME HEAVEN were slow into stride. FIRST DEFENCE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Bosch appeared before the Board with regard to FIRST DEFENCE being difficult proceeding to the start and having to be led by a handler. Mr Bosch was advised that should this gelding prove difficult when proceeding to the start in the future, he may be suspended. IBERIAN EXPRESS, NATTERJACK, KILLARNEY HOUSE and BUCK SHOT were pulling hard in the early stages, difficult to restrain. BEZ-ART shifted out slightly at approximately the 300 metre mark, resulting in SHOW ME HEAVEN becoming cramped for galloping room for a number of strides. In view of the performance of NATTERJACK, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. FIRST DEFENCE is a gelding. ROYAL SELVEN (AUS) raced with cheek pieces on. Vet: NATTERJACK - nothing obvious detected. BEZ-ART - nasal discharge. REGENCY ROMANCE - coughing. Scratched: MUHANNAD (ARG) - elevated temperature.
