IN TRIBUTE was slow into stride. FIRST FLIGHT, INDIAN CONNECTION, SHELLYS CONNECTION and BURWAAZ lost one length. MOUNTAIN MASTER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Bass was questioned with regard to the improved performance of MOUNTAIN MASTER, the winner, compared to this gelding's previous performance over 1200 metres. He explained that this gelding had returned from a lay-off, this was his first run as a gelding and was in need of this run. The Board noted his explanation. SHELLYS CONNECTION was hanging in throughout. IN TRIBUTE was hanging in, in the straight. SAMHAAN (AUS) was switched in off the heels of TRANSLATOR at approximately the 150 metre mark. In view of the performance of TRANSLATOR, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. SHOES 'N COMPANY compounded in the latter stages. Jockey Fourie signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined for a contravention in that he failed to inform the Stipendiary Board immediately he was aware that he was unable to fulfil the riding engagement on SHELLYS CONNECTION. Vet: TRANSLATOR - coughing and abnormal respiratory noise. SHOES 'N COMPANY - nothing obvious detected.
